oath and contract

The American film "Fireman" discusses marital crisis in a fairy tale tone.
Saving a marriage is actually harder than marrying a first love!
The movie repeatedly shows a huge cross and uses a large amount of space to promote Christian texts.
It further points out that marriage needs to be managed, and people vow to spend together in marriage, not just the good side, but also the hard side.
It's more sincere than our culture.
For example, Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang played against each other for a long time, pretending to be eternally loving couples,
but I often think, if he hadn't been tortured by marriage, he could have written "Besieged City"?

But this propaganda film is a little more tender;
the biggest turning point of the matter is the issue of money, which makes people uncomfortable;
what I am most confused about is, what is so good about this absent-minded woman? Is it worth the effort to recover?

    The missionary meaning is too strong, but it is much better than "Letter to God", but except for the missionary part, this film can be regarded as a good marriage crisis guidance film.

Fireproof quotes

  • Latasha Brown: Honey, I agree with you. You gotta get out. He don't deserve you.

    Deidra Harris: You can say that again. A real man's got to be a hero to his wife before he can be to anybody else, or he ain't a real man.

    Ashley Phillips: Catherine, do you need a place to stay? I can't imagine living in the same house as that man.

    Catherine Holt: No, I decided last night that I am not the one who's leaving. He's the problem, not me.

    Deidra Harris: That's right, girl, stand your ground. Make him respect you. If there's one thing a man understands...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael, discussing the same situation] ... .it's respect. That's the issue. That's the reason our marriage is failing. She shows me no respect at all. And the saddest part about it is...

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts back to Catherine and her group of friends] He doesn't have a clue. He thinks our marriage has been fine for the most part. You know, he probably thinks...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] Our marriage has been fine until this year. Now all of a sudden she goes off the deep end.

    Michael Simmons: Do you really think this happened all of a sudden?

    Caleb Holt: I don't know what to think. I don't understand her. She's emotional about everything, she's easily offended, and way too sensitive.

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts to Catherine, starting to sob] I mean, he's so insensitive. You know, he doesn't truly care how I feel, he doesn't listen to me. Even if I say it over and over and over again.

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] And then she starts nagging me and saying I don't listen to her... or something like that. It drives me crazy. I feel like I'm going...

    Catherine Holt: [Cuts to Catherine] Insane. You know, he doesn't understand my needs. It feels like we are completely and totally...

    Caleb Holt: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] Incompatible. She's probably whining to her friends, making me sound like a criminal. I can see them all right now: crying, having some sort of group hug.

    Latasha Brown: [Cuts back to the women crowded around Catherine, comforting her, giving her a group hug] It's gonna be OK, sweetie. It's gonna be all right.

    Ashley Phillips: You'll get through this.

    Deidra Harris: We have your back. Whatever you want. Whatever you need. Whatever you need.

    Michael Simmons: [Cuts to Caleb and Michael] So, you think it's past the point of no return?

    Caleb Holt: I don't have a reason to return.

  • John Holt: Caleb, is there anything in you that wants to save your marriage?

    Caleb Holt: Maybe. If Catherine wanted to. But she doesn't. She wants divorce.

    John Holt: Is that what you want?

    Caleb Holt: I want peace. But what difference does it make? She signs the papers, dad, it's all over.

    John Holt: Have you agreed to start the process with her?

    Caleb Holt: No, but I think we both understand where this is all headed. I've got plans to meet with my lawyer tomorrow.

    John Holt: Caleb, I want you to do something for me.

    Caleb Holt: What?

    John Holt: I want you to hold off on the divorce for 40 days.

    Caleb Holt: Why?

    John Holt: I'm gonna send you something in the mail. Something that'll take you that long to do.

    Caleb Holt: What is it?

    John Holt: It's what saved our marriage.

    Caleb Holt: Dad, if this is a religious thing, I'd rather you didn't.

    John Holt: Look at it as a gift from your father. Take one day at a time. Then see what happens. Please son. If for no other reason; do it for me. I'm asking as your father.

    Caleb Holt: 40 days?

    John Holt: 40 days.
