"Marriage Story" tells the story of the drama director Charlie and actress Nicole who have drifted away from each other due to differences in ideas, and the two decided to divorce.

From the beginning, there are foreshadowings, and the two of them have a perfect existence in each other's eyes, so why did they go to the stage of divorce? Let the audience suddenly wonder, so good, why is this so? As the plot deepens, the process of divorce between the two is that the two re-acquaint and understand each other. No problem is the biggest problem. The most attractive thing in the play is the ten-minute quarrel between the two, which is very real and close to life. The two realize that they may never think from each other's shoes, but they all look at problems from their own perspective, and they both take it for granted. At the end, Charlie finally inadvertently read her letter that Nicole didn't want to read at the beginning of the film, which made Charlie choked up several times, "I fell in love with him at first sight...I will never stop loving him, even if it has no meaning anymore" . Anyone who sees this will have mixed feelings in their hearts.

Marriage is a science, and a marriage without love is like a person without oxygen. But a marriage with a foundation of love requires mutual understanding, tolerance, and diligent management in order to be happy all the time. Luckily or not, only the warm and cold of each other in the marriage know each other, and the child will grow old hand in hand with the child. Moisturize each other, the water will flow! Cherish the people around you, manage your life with heart, and happiness is around you!

Marriage Story quotes

  • Nora Fanshaw: People don't accept mothers who drink too much wine and yell at their child and call him an asshole. I get it. I do it too. We can accept an imperfect dad. Let's face it, the idea of a good father was only invented like 30 years ago. Before that, fathers were expected to be silent and absent and unreliable and selfish, and can all say we want them to be different. But on some basic level, we accept them. We love them for their fallibilities, but people absolutely don't accept those same failings in mothers. We don't accept it structurally and we don't accept it spiritually. Because the basis of our Judeo-Christian whatever is Mary, Mother of Jesus, and she's perfect. She's a virgin who gives birth, unwaveringly supports her child and holds his dead body when he's gone. And the dad isn't there. He didn't even do the fucking. God is in heaven. God is the father and God didn't show up. So, you have to be perfect, and Charlie can be a fuck up and it doesn't matter. You will always be held to a different, higher standard. And it's fucked up, but that's the way it is.

  • Bert Spitz: You know what this is like? This is like that joke about the woman at the hairdresser, she's going to Rome. You know this?

    Charlie: I don't.

    Bert Spitz: This woman is at her hairdresser, and she says, "I'm going to Rome on Holiday." And he says, "Oh, really? What airline are you taking?" She says, "Alitalia." He says, "Alitalia? Are you crazy? That's the worst - that's terrible. Don't take that. Where you gonna stay?" She says, "I'm gonna stay at the Hassler." "The Hassler? What, are you kidding? They're renovating the Hassler. You'll hear hammering all night long. You won't sleep. What are you gonna see?" She says, "I think I'm gonna try to go the Vatican." "The Vatican? You'll be standing in line all day long. You'll never get to see anything."

    Charlie: I'm sorry, Bert, am I paying for this joke?
