A strong feeling of Oscar films in the 1980s. I don’t know if the Oscars in the 1980s tended to this style, or because of cultural differences, or because the translation team did a poor job. I always feel that many plots and lines are a bit nonsensical, and some plots are still very difficult to figure out. Thoroughly, it may be that great works need to be watched many times... There is no doubt that "Ordinary People" is a complete art film, with impressive unique editing methods and montage styles, as well as multi-linear narrative techniques, It fully demonstrated Robert Redford's directing skills. The film's theme was biased towards a male perspective, which was in line with the Oscar trend of patriarchal preference at that time. From a psychological perspective, it deeply presented men's sense of responsibility and mission in love and family. The acting is not very good, it is easy for people to watch the play.
After watching it, I always feel that the best picture should be awarded to "Raging Bull"
