      Marriage

      Marriage in the eyes of Americans probably has a secret love that is as clear as philosophy but indescribable. If love and sex, as well as material life, we are all ready, can we start a happy married life? Or contradiction is the driving force for society to move forward. The three major themes of literary films: the anger of the proletariat, the greed of the bourgeoisie, and the boredom of the middle class. We don't have a middle class in our country, so probably not many people would find...

      you have a choice

      After watching "Eavesdropping Storm", Long Yingtai used her sharp pen to shoot sharp arrows at people who are good at rationalizing themselves or their barbaric or injustice or cowardly or selfish behavior: "You have a choice."

      Yes, you have choices. Before the crossroads, either left or right, the turning of life is at your own feet; or a smooth career, or an unintentionally awakened intuition of good and evil, like Weissler. Or a sweet love, or a tasteless marriage, like Harry;...

      You see, marriage is the ashes of love.

      Many years ago, I once saw an interview with Mr. Zheng Mongzhun. When a reporter asked about his relationship with his wife, he used a metaphor that Chinese people can understand. He said that husband and wife are of one mind, and then he explained me When it's hard, my wife gets it too. At the time, I thought it was unique to Confucian-based countries. It wasn't until I watched "Marriage Life" that I realized that human nature is really common.

      dark humor

      "Marriage Life" is a movie with a bit of dark humor intertwined with star faces. Very very nice.

      Pat and Ellen were a couple, and their friends were envious of how well-matched they were back then.

      As a result, at the age of grandsons, they also cheated on their own. The funny thing is that both parties are unwilling to divorce, because they are afraid that the other party will not be able to do without them, and they are very sure that the other party will be in pain...

      "Marriage is not only about eachother and romance, but more about trivial firewood, rice, oil and salt. It is to let another person accompany you to spend such a small time. Passion will inevitably be like the sea at low tide. Slowly away from the shore of life, in exchange It is a piece of peace and tranquility. Fate still holds each other's hands tightly at the crossroads of more choices and temptations. Love is a kind of fate. Marriage is a kind of faith. All we have to do is to respect life...

      It is a little more elegant, a little exaggerated, a little twisted, but a little helpless. If you are interested, you can look at the nearest revolutionary road. The premise is that you are not just tired and...

      As soon as you look at the poster, you will know who is the pig's foot, who is the original match, who is the third and who is the fourth...Marriage itself is simply a naked horror movie! ! In addition, roar again: oh~~Rachel~~The beauty is dead! !...

      First of all, I saw Piersnan, this big love and beautiful little 3, and decided to continue watching. But when I saw that Pat was having an affair and LG thought she loved him so much that he had to kill her, I laughed out loud. Seeing this movie today is so fitting. Marriage is so profound, love is ridiculous, and life is so...

    Evaluation action

    "Married Life" is a movie that mixes strong noir flavors with old-school Hollywood suspense. The film's nuanced and delicate description of personal complex emotions and events, with distinctive and retro-inspired imagery, brings audiences a series of complex emotional betrayal stories set against a twisted background. Chris Cooper's highly stylized performance makes the characters appear three-dimensional and textured, and this...
