Is marriage itself really that bad, or something else.

When watching "Marriage Story", it is inevitable to think of Bergman's "Marriage Life". It may be the name, the style of painting, or the two people on the screen who are most familiar with each other are tearing each other. I also understand why people need divorce lawyers, because for people who are separated, a good discussion can easily become a fight, and a fight is a bomb with only hatred.

This is the second time I like the performance of the widow sister. The first time was "Her", and her voice was enough to make people addicted to that online dating. It's great that she can take on a role like Nicole. She doesn't need to pay attention to her face and figure, but only to the character itself, to see her advantages described by her ex-husband, to see that she is still in pain after she left, to see her thinking hard Get back the self lost because of married life.

The director Noah has another wonderful work called "Frances Ha", about the friendship of two New York girls. You will find that these two works are very similar. There is a playful, humorous mood, which may be a new yorker's unique lightness. The same two people who were once important in each other's lives had a desperate crack. The tacit understanding and love are still there, but in the end "we" became "I".

I also have to admit that Bergman's lonely soul has an even more desolate background. In his nearly three-hour shot, there is no soundtrack, only dialogue. He understands human nature more thoroughly than Noah, and shows hurt more calmly. .

Is marriage itself really that bad, I don't believe it. After the divorce, Charlie still sang Alone is not a life in the song, and Nicole, who tied his shoelaces, still seemed to complement each other perfectly. Perhaps, the final outcome of the "love" thing is the most chilling.

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?
