The most broken relationship between people may be the out-of-control contradictions and out-of-control injuries, and then knowing that those warm, beautiful things and love are still there, but there is no way to go back.

Although I haven't experienced marriage, I still feel very lucky and happy watching the ending of Nicole and Charlie in the play.

The acting skills of the two are simply amazing. I love the scene where the two of them quarreled the most. From calmly talking about each other's points gradually becoming incompatible to old problems reappearing and then blushing each other and using the most ugly and hurtful words Come to accuse each other until the last two people cry and say sorry. The vividness and reality of the helplessness and the end of the relationship between the two sides brought me to tears.

really good movie

Are the male and female protagonists too great?

    Near the end of the film, Nicole, who is already a new lover, heard that Charlie was about to move to Los Angeles and settled in Los Angeles. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. It tells two painful things separately: when a person has stopped what she has been expecting, what she is after is unexpectedly achieved, and when a person finally learns to sacrifice himself for her, the person he wants to dedicate to. But has already left. The film slowly exposes the spiritual world of both parties in the conversations. How vicious the woman is in the marriage is when the divorce is, and how selfish the man is in the marriage is how overwhelmed when the divorce is. At the end, no matter which party the audience prefers to divorce, they will not feel that the other party is making trouble or even empathizing with the other party. This film and "Blue Valentine's Day" have reached two different types of perfection on the theme of "disappearance of love" (one starts with mutual appreciation and the other starts with an unequal relationship. I think this is also where Nicole can finally be with Charlie. Because of being friends).

    I don't know if it's because Randy Newman's soundtrack is particularly similar to the Boo's Going Home track in "Monsters, Inc." The temperament, humor, and antagonistic settings of the whole film resemble the emotional texture of Pixar's animated films in the early 20th century; The naive but "adult" sweetness and poignancy, in the actors' faces and slightly cartoon comedy scenes, turn the story into a full-fledged fairy tale.

Marriage Story quotes

  • Charlie: We didn't have a deal it was something we discussed.

    Nora Fanshaw: So it's a deal when it's something you want. And a discussion when Nicole wants it?

  • Nicole: Anyway... .Shall we try this?

    Charlie: Ok

    Charlie: I don't know how to start...

    Nicole: Do you understand why I want to stay in LA?

    Charlie: No.

    Nicole: Well, that's not... Charlie, that's not a useful way for us to start...

    Charlie: I don't understand it.

    Nicole: You don't remember promising that we could do time out there?

    Charlie: We discussed things. We were married, we said things. We talked about moving to Europe, about getting a sideboard or what do you call it, a credenza, to fill that empty space behind the couch. We never did any of it.
