Is love really so strong?
At the end of the movie, Joey and John eventually were allowed to get married, but is love really so strong? I doubt much.
Joey seemed innocent, pure and impractical, John seemed polite and passionate. They fell in love and got through lots of obstacles to get married. I was wondering what if I was Joey, would I be so brave, impractical and rational? The answer is absolutely not! I thought that this kind of so-called true love only existed in the movies, and what are movies made for? To realize the dreams people cannot reach in their daily lives.
If you wanted to do something against the rules of the society, there must be a high price to pay, only those most angelical people can ignore the reality and do what they hearts tell them to do. Nowadays, marriage is not only about love, it includes responsibility of both their families, the viewpoints from friends and colleagues, future baby and things following the baby like education, growing up and lots of unexpected accidents. Love is easy, you can fall in love with a strange in a week right like Joey, but man cannot be as simple-minded as Joey. Everyone has his or her born responsibility, no man can let his or her parents down, in my eyes Joey is a undutiful simple-minded girl, she didn't care about how her parents feel, she just want herself to be happy, that sucks.

    Reason and emotion, society and family, public issues and individual rights, all kinds of conflicts and contradictions are perfectly integrated in an indoor drama-style family film, which is really rare. And the design of the rational ending goes beyond the predictable general happy ending, and highlights the connotation of the film. Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn's love off the screen can also be appreciated in this film to some extent.

    7.8, The elitist love story. Strong dramatic conflict. The topic of race is just an introduction, it is actually talking about being a father and a mother. The great Spencer Tracy.
