On the harm of a man's cheating on a woman's role as a mother

"Blue Jasmine" and "Ten Thousand Arrows Through Heart" have a striking similarity: the

husband cheats - the wife calls the police in anger - the husband commits suicide - the son hates the mother very much and can't let it go - years later the wife and the son have theories - - The son said that he knew that it was his mother's police report that led to his father's suicide, so his mother became the enemy of his father's murder - a mother and son can't make a

good person without perfection, and both wives must have problems.
The problem with Jasmine may be that she is a child who came out of poverty. She is more vain after gaining material wealth, which makes men feel more and more boring.
Li Baoli's problem is also coming out of poverty, and with the pungentness of Wuhan women, her mouth is not forgiving, which makes men feel ashamed.

But which couple has no conflict? Is cheating really because the wife is not good and forced to cheat? Derailed and out of reason? If the husband and wife play each other without interfering with each other, naturally there is nothing to say. But in these two films, the wife loves her husband wholeheartedly.

One reported to the police that her husband was engaged in financial fraud, and the other reported that her husband was visiting prostitutes. Two vulnerable men committed suicide.

When something like this happens (cheating - calling the police - suicide), people often blame women for their impulsiveness and even viciousness. Some public figures and the media even call it "the mistake that most men make". In the face of such remarks, only hehe.

The son in "Blue Jasmine" is a stepson, and the son in "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is his biological son. But neither son could forgive his mother. The former ran away from home and wished to never see each other, while the latter waited for her mother to use her hard-earned money to pay her to go to college and kick her out of the house.
The main line of the former movie is not the relationship between mother and son, so I don't feel deeply.
The latter uses a lot of space to interpret the relationship between mother and child, especially depicting Li Baoli's efforts to make a living, and at the same time she has to endure the slander that her mother-in-law taught her grandson that it was her mother who killed her father, and she was in a very vulnerable position.

But the most important point is that these two sons are relatively close to their father. The child's judgment is very direct. Dear father died because of mother's alarm. No matter what the reason is, mother killed father.

The man who cheated, died once he died, he won the regret, and also won the eternal memory of his children. It was quite beautiful to turn defeat into victory. But the premise is that you are not afraid of death, and the deceased can settle many moral problems.

So the two women couldn't blame their son, after all, they also regretted their initial impulse. He is obviously a victim in the marriage, but he has to live in pain, losing both her husband and children.

After going around in circles, the conclusion seems to be, cheating men, please live on, don't pass the consequences of your mistakes to the wife who loves you but was hurt by you.

    Is it elegant vanity or vanity elegance? Woody Allen's unique style, Kate's three-pointer acting, the reality is so true!

    The advantages of the movie: the style is urban, the characters are bright, the rhythm is brisk, the dialogue is humorous, and the author's style of Woody Allen has always been maintained. From the beginning of the film, the audience can predict the next urban comedy with a high level of humanities and neuroticism. The film's success is also due to Cate's virtuoso acting, and her performance in the later stages almost convinces you that she's really "that kind of person", and there's no way to save it.

Blue Jasmine quotes

  • Jasmine: But that's all history boys, I met someone, I'm a new person.

  • [last lines]

    Jasmine: [talking to herself] It's fraught with peril. They gossip, you know, they talk. I saw Danny. Yes, did I tell you? He's getting married. A weekend in Palm Beach means I can wear... what could I wear? I can wear the Dior dress I bought in Paris. Yes, my black dress. Well, Hal always used to surprise me with jewelry. Extravagant pieces. I think he used to buy them at auction. It's so obvious what you're doing. You think I don't know. French au pair.

    [Blue Moon begins playing]

    Jasmine: This was playing on the Vineyard. Blue Moon. I used to know the words. I knew the words. Now they're all a jumble.
