Who is the strongest in the family

Impressed after watching the movie.
The strongest in the family is Ellen's mother, Kate. Her father George looked successful and romantic in his early years, but later (not just after Kate got sick, because Kate even knew where to find him) he seemed to be busy all day, often coming home late at night, but in fact Escape from reality, from Kate's sick and debilitating reality, his inner fears, can hide in a pub with the same name as the book he wrote. ——Does it mean that his so-called writing in his early years was just an escape?
The weak Kate said to Ellen, I understand everything, better than you. I felt so distressed at this time. A woman can be a housewife with peace of mind and happiness for a family, give silently, and even tolerate her husband's infidelity to her, and this tolerance has never been discovered and felt. The calm and warm family atmosphere turned out to be the achievement of this woman's forbearance, not what George thought I had already spent on you.
George, who came back from the pub, walked to the bed, Kate lifted the quilt, George fell down with his clothes closed, Kate gently covered the quilt, everything was so natural, as if it was not Kate who was sick, George was the one who needed comfort ...
watching the movie, I cried in two places. One is the Christmas Eve chorus, red sweater, the haggard but stubborn Kate smiled and sang the carol calmly with the help of her daughter, she knew that there would be no singing in the coming year.
One is the scene of Allen crushing the morphine pills, firmly crushing so many pills, but then giving up. That kind of inner struggle reminds me of how I felt before my father died.
In fact, the whole movie is making me remember.
Fortunately, Ellen obeyed his father's request and returned to his mother to take care of her, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.
How did Kate die? She finally told Ellen, I love you. From this, we can see that she committed suicide. At first I thought it would end with my son helping, because that medicine bottle Kate couldn't put in the trash by herself. After thinking about it, the medicine bottle in the garbage basket should be put into the garbage basket by George thinking that his daughter used it to help Kate.
Kate is gone, Ellen is strong. I just hope that she is carrying the weight she can bear, instead of being like Kate, the result of swallowing up is not only the integrity of a family, but also the disease.
In life, you can't just endure, you should be happy, happy from the bottom of your heart.

One True Thing quotes

  • Kate Gulden: [dressed as Dorothy] Welcome! There's no place like home!

    Ellen Gulden: [silently, to herself] Thank God.

  • Kate Gulden: It's so much easier to be happy, my love. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, and you have so much, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is you're imagining you're missing. It's so much more peaceful.
