"Marriage Story" is a personal essay about watching movies, with informal film critics and two big IP actors. With superb acting skills, they interpret an American marriage story. I don't know American life, and I don't know if such a marriage story is typical. After the movie, I think such stories are very boring. Most of the boring life is the essence of marriage. Everything is flat, and the expectations for each other gradually disappear. , like an assembly line, it is a feeling that many people have, even regardless of nationality or class. Since it is "Marriage Story", it will inevitably involve children. Children are innocent, otherwise it will be an ordinary young couple breaking up, husband and wife. The relationship between the two is more complicated. I watched the quarrel between the two gradually escalate until the two of them wanted to eat each other alive. For me, I have long been used to it. In fact, this kind of marriage is not so terrible to a certain extent. What I think is terrible is that I have no courage at all. For a divorced marriage, all the excuses are valid. For the sake of children, for the sake of responsibility, a marriage with 0 communication and 0 interaction is sad. The way of divorce in the movie is very interesting. If the employee goes to the man's house for a day, a country ruled by law can use the law to solve problems in all aspects~

Marriage Story quotes

  • Nicole: [while arguing with Charlie] You're being so much like your father.

    Charlie: Do not compare me to my father!

    Nicole: I didn't compare you to him. I said you were acting like him.

    Charlie: You're exactly like your mother. Everything you were complaining about her, you're doing. You're suffocating Henry.

    Nicole: First of all, I love my mother. She was a wonderful mother.

    Charlie: I'm just repeating what you told me.

    Nicole: Secondly, how dare you compare my mothering to my mother! I may be like my father, but I am not like my mother!

    Charlie: You are! And you're like my father! You're also like my mother! You're all the bad things about all of these people! But mostly your mother.

  • 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.
