Women ruled the human race for most of the time, spreading human civilization to the present day. Humans who have been suppressed for too long begin to despise women, even perverted.
America went through the Great Depression in the last century, and all people were feeding others. Women in this period are very strong and have a sense of responsibility, but there is nothing wrong with them!
Now women are often a disadvantaged group, which is also a form of discrimination, giving people the illusion that women are inferior to men. However, in the most normal families, most of the women settle down, and then the men enjoy their careers, and only then can the country be prosperous and peaceful. Men should not look at everything from the perspective of the powerful now.
The male 1 in the play is a single parent. The first feeling is that he is a mother's treasure, but it is good to have a mother who is an engineer. When the mother and the child are not communicating well, they will ask the child's friends to help, but the boy's first reaction is the same as everyone else's, refusing. When his friend was going to the hospital to get the cancer result, his mother suggested to wait at home because he was too sad, but he took him with the girl with his own sense of responsibility. This was growth, and he received a friendship. When he was with another girl who often sleeps and chats with him, the girl taught him to smoke. He learned it for a while, but he said that cigarettes are too difficult to smoke and cause cancer (his mother never leaves the cigarette), this is his self-consciousness Self-judgment display, healthy and upward.

    The narrative cuts through time and gender and remains undisturbed. The characters continue to have independent dialogues, speak and reflect each other, and eventually become a fragment of the era of multi-voice symphony, achieving a certain echo or dislocation of the living state between the centuries. The flowing neon, brightly spliced ​​colors and jumping music are like a time tunnel, calling for the collision of people in the rift. It's weird that there's only one Oscar nomination.

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.
