The reason why a story is a story is that it is conflict and that it is fascinating. Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton's "Marvin's Room" shows the struggle between selfishness and selflessness, the choice between loving and being loved, understanding and tolerance in human nature through the conflict between ordinary people compromise. Leonardo's Hank is a rebellious teenager, Meryl Streep is a selfish daughter, and Diane Keaton is a young daughter who has been caring for her father and aunt. There is mutual suspicion and dissatisfaction among the three people, and a kind person is needed to resolve all dissatisfaction. This is the little daughter played by Diane Keaton. The eldest daughter, Li, escaped here when her father had a stroke, and came back when her sister had blood cancer. This is an accidental corollary. Her inner selfishness and selflessness coexist. Her selfishness made her abandon her 17 years ago, and her sister's selflessness made her choose to stay 17 years later.
Calm and restrained performance, neither humble nor arrogant attitude allows Diane Keaton to successfully interpret this role. Compared with her free and easy laissez-faire in the 1970s, she has reached this age in the 1990s. Remember the woman in "Annie Hall" who relies on psychedelics to concentrate on sex, here she is entering old age.
