The reason I watched this movie is because I am 39 years old and have two sons, and I have been confused about marriage since I got married.
I have always felt that the ideal marriage is a virtuous wife, a smart child, and a successful career. But the reality is that in addition to the career has been rising, other things have not been as they wished. I've been complaining about my wife, and I've made up a lot of theories to convince everyone... Naturally, no one can convince the strong, smart, and logical me. But the wife's unhappiness and the child's poor grades are indeed a reality. I always thought it was someone else's problem, but after watching the film I realized it was my own problem.
A good career is because the elderly help to take care of the children, and because the wife pays more to maintain the whole family. The lawyer's sentence in the film: "A man's genius is given by his family", which is very enlightening. He selfishly thought that he was giving to the whole family.
No one is perfect, including wives and children. In the past, I always picked on the faults of the people around me and felt that they did not do well and were too strict with others. After watching the film and reflecting on the past few years, I have come into contact with women who I thought were perfect before. Doctors, graduate students, beautiful, thoughtful, independent, and after close observation, I found that as long as they are people, they will have their own shortcomings. You can give full play to your strengths and help people around you to make everyone happy. Only in this way can men have the meaning of existence.
I thought I was an expert after reading a few books on family education, and forced everyone in the family to educate their children according to their own will, while I was just supervising others. After watching the film, I feel that love is the bond that keeps children together, and standing outside commenting is never a competent father. You can have both family and career. Don't think that being tired from work is an excuse to shirk from accompanying your child. The child will always leave you.
Because this film likes Scarlett and Adam more, and likes his melancholy and confused character in Star Wars. The court lawyers debated, the two quarreled, and the tavern sang a few scenes alone. It is a rare and thought-provoking ethical film in recent years.
