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.
