This is a tribute to the humanistic spirit that belongs to the eras before the 21st century.

The development of the economy, the openness of thinking, the burst of art, and the change of ideas, the imprints of these times are revealed through the perceptions of women and men in three different generations.

Times are changing, but the constant is people's doubts, their confusion about emerging civilizations, and their disdain for outdated ideas. For the younger generation, everything is new and everything is incomprehensible. When they understand it, they also become a new generation, which no one can escape.

The music that belongs to the last century is really great, and the stories are also refined and intriguing. The art of film should be like this, and works with ideas are all worthy of applause?

    Mainly talking about the seventies, and finally zoomed into the entire century. How can this kind of theme think of boyhood, but the timeline is not fully spread out. At the end, looking back on a person's life, that's how it is, there is always a pile of shit after another.

    Mike Mills's four or two works, the director's ideas are very good and well implemented, inadvertently feel the torrent of the times from the private emotional experience. The editing is great, the mother-son relationship is explored, the stories of the tenants, and the changing times make for a smooth transition. [B+]

20th Century Women quotes

  • Dorothea: That was my husband's Ford Galaxy. We drove Jamie home from the hospital in that car.

    Jamie: My mom was forty when she had me. Everyone told her she was too old to be a mother.

    Dorothea: I put my hand through the little window, and he'd squeeze my finger, and I'd tell him life was very big... and unknown.

    Jamie: And she told me that there were animals, and sky, and cities...

    Dorothea: ...music, movies. He'd fall in love, have his own children, have passions, have meaning, have his mom and dad.

    Jamie: When they got divorced, my father moved back east and left the car with us. He calls on birthdays and Christmas. Last time I felt close to him was on my birthday in 1974. He bought me mirrored sunglasses. I saw the president fall down the stairs and I threw up on the carpet.

    Dorothea: Since then it's just been us.

  • Dorothea: Actually, it was, it was built in 1905, and the same family had it forever, but they lost all their money during the war, and then there was a fire and... You should've been here for that. Anyway, so, it was just a mess. They let it fall apart. Then a bohemian inherited it in the '60s, then a bunch of free spirits moved in, and they lost it to the bank.
