development perspective

Some movies are said to be classic but they can only be seen in a certain era. For example, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) is not as good as a second-rate script and production. There are some movies whose ideas are not outdated or even avant-garde now. Like many of Kubrick's works ("2001 Sky Odyssey" in 1968, "Dr. Strangelove" in 1964), the quality of the work should be viewed from the perspective of development, and the age cannot be used as an excuse. "The Kramers" won the Oscar for best picture that year. It was once thought to be a deep family drama, but now it's just an ordinary family drama. The family is divided, divorced, and a single parent is as common as a bowel movement now. , but even in the 1970s in the United States, it was still a new thing, so the theme of the film can still touch many people, but many aspects of the film are not good now, and Dustin Hoffman's performance is not bad, But the characters are not likable, wearing a trench coat is always irritable.

Really beautiful and real. The story is very simple. It reflects the various problems of family, couples and children in the United States at that time. I can't believe it was a film in the 1970s. This film was a huge winner at the 52nd Oscars, and all the male and female protagonists were nominated. The acting skills of Dustin Hoffman and Aunt May are textbook-level. That long-lost hug at the end was really touching.

About "Transposition" (Mr. Kramer, Mrs. Kids, Neighbors). Mrs. Kramer was tired of being a stay-at-home wife and left home to find herself; Mr. Kramer was learning how to take care of the children in his busy work. At first, the child was not used to the mother leaving, and there was conflict with the father, and the two gradually adapted and depended on each other. Mrs. Kramer suddenly appeared and wanted to get back custody of the child. The judge awarded the child to the mother, who changed her mind when she was about to receive the child.

Ted Kramer: You had a date. I knew it! I knew you were keeping something from me.
Margaret Phelps: Well, you know, I told you I thought he was a pretty neat guy, right.
Ted Kramer: Right.
Margaret Phelps: So, we go to dinner.
Ted Kramer: Yeah.
Margaret Phelps: I find out he's married, he's deep in analysis, and, get this, he starts to tell me his life story. And all I can think of, while I'm sitting there, is that I'm paying a babysitter three dollars and a quarter an hour to listen to his problems!
