the toast in the kitchen, the first day of a complete collapse and realizing that you are a failed parent starts with "french toast that can't be successful". On the last day to leave, I skillfully cooked toast. It's really talking about the success of parenthood.
2. Dialogue -
How to Speak How should an eight-year-old speak?
don't let bugs bite you. It's probably this sentence. I learned it from my mother or my father. The children also learned to tell them like this, and it won't be more complicated.
How should parents talk to their children?
Long-talking (and maybe Americans all talk about it...), a bit of a young language.
Let me successfully realize how cute and annoying a 5-8 year old boy is when he is cute.
I feel like raising a child is just as difficult as raising a dog.
3. Structure - Where is the conflict (tension?) in the ordinary?
The hostess runs away - I think the hostess' running away is temporary - I fully accept the hostess running away (ice cream incident, the host's cooking, the host's work status, the host's emotional life ) - the child broke - the hostess came back to negotiate the divorce - the job crisis - court 1 - court 2 - the finale
of a typical Hollywood movie, the last forty minutes must have been problem-solving, or the pace quickened. In this play it is a battle for custody.
Crisis at work (mother prevails) - resolution (father backs one game) - court 1 (father chases after victory) - court 2 (father loses outright) - ending (mother backs down, reconciled), just like a sports game.
4. Middle-class troubles
The Oscars in the 1970s were awarded to middle-class marriage problems, growth problems (single parents), and women's rights problems, but this structure was indeed a classic Hollywood structure.
It has to be said that the division of labor efficiency is very high in that men are 100% devoted to work and women are 100% devoted to family. For example, Mr. Kramer was promoted to vice president at the beginning of the film; but that is not considering the development of "people" in the case of.
Mrs. Kramer left because of the complete loss of heavy household chores and personal life (relationships, careers, hobbies). "Mrs." means being a wife and a mother; not a lover and herself.
But the film actually goes further to point out that this division of labor not only hurts Mrs. Kramer's personal worth, but also suppresses Mr. Kramer's growth.
Mr. Kramer's career growth cannot be the only measure. By giving up his duty to care for his children, he has forfeited the right to experience a particular kind of parent-child love.
In fact, it is very close to the current reality in China. Men think that their duty is to make money, and they give up family life on their own initiative or think they take the initiative, so their wives will play twice as mothers. This kind of division of labor is very unmodern, probably the concept of Western countries in the 1960s and 1970s. But after 95-00, when the children choose a mate, there may be a change.
Too lazy to write it.
