Some people say: This is a film that needs to be played 24 hours a day at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Its most inappropriate audience is the fear of marriage and childbearing.
The title of the film is also mysterious, directly tell you that we are shooting "Married Life".
The male and female protagonists of the story are named Jonathan and Mira.
They are a model couple in the eyes of friends, a typical representative of a successful marriage.
In Jonathan's eyes, his wife was independent and confident, and was the object of his daring to ask for.
The two studied at the same university, and Mira was the school's hero at the time, a well-deserved school flower.
And Jonathan is just a nobody, although the two have met, but there is no further contact, not even friends...
However, Jonathan, who was deeply attracted to Meera, graduated and came to The City where Mira was located.
The lovelorn Mila, deeply hurt by love, unable to lift up, all day muddy...
And the appearance of Jonathan has brought unprecedented warmth to Mira...
The direction of the story is also the same as everyone guessed.
The two of them naturally got together and talked about love for two years before they entered the marriage hall.
After marriage, Mira did not give up her job, and earned more than Jonathan, traveling a lot.
Although it is a family outside the heroine, Jonathan does not feel inappropriate, or lose the face of the man...
On the contrary, he willingly became his wife's "kennai helper", and his daughter was closer to him...
Seeing that the marriage has no wind and no waves, and is about to usher in the tenth year, the accident has happened...
Forty-year-old Mila was pregnant with her second child.
For this child, she is very entangled in her heart, both wanting, but not wanting...
Recalling that her daughter was born for the first two years, Mira was not well...
At that time, her relationship with Jonathan was no different from that of an enemy who confronted each other.
She was like being isolated in a confined space, and no one could hear her voice no matter how she shouted.
And Jonathan, who has limited patience, gradually alienates Meera, as if all the faults are caused by her...
Although the two spoke apart afterwards and tried to understand each other, in order to maintain this intimate relationship, both sides were exhausted.
Now it's time to have another one, Andra is terrified...
Life had taken a hard time to get back on track, and she didn't want to go through the nightmare of four years ago again...
Jonathan reassured: Don't be too nervous, maybe this is God's arrangement?
Mira asked rhetorically: What about you? Do you want this child?
The couple spent days discussing and finally made a difficult decision...
"Married Life", produced by HBO, is a series that looks depressed and full of atmosphere, from the beginning to the end, the Douban score soared all the way to 8.8, and IMDb also played 8.1.
It is worth mentioning that the male and female protagonists are played by model sister Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac, and the powerful combination of these two powerful actors portrays the real plight of a couple facing an emotional crisis.
This is a film that has an extremely bland beginning.
The first two episodes are almost all based on dialogue to promote the plot, under the interpretation of the male and female protagonists, the clues revealed by every word and deed give the viewer a glimpse of the thinking and game of the intimate relationship between men and women in the marriage model.
The film is a remake of the 1973 Swedish film of the same name, focusing on the disintegration of married life, putting various fatal problems on the table.
The old version of "Married Life" was written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, and his high-density output, like a cannonball, made the audience dizzy, and the frequent golden sentences were convincing.
For example, describing the relationship between husband and wife, he said: Sometimes couples are like short-circuited telephone chats. Sometimes what is heard is a recording of the phone, sometimes it is just endless silence...
Married Life (1973)
Even in the past half a century, the issues discussed in the film have not been conclusive until today...
For example, do you want to marry the right person, or someone you love?
For example, if a friend's husband is cheating, should he tell his friend?
For example, spiritual infidelity, open intimate relationships, fertility issues, etc...
In order to promote the harmonious progress of men and women, I suggest that the two versions be read together, and where the old version cannot be answered, maybe you will solve the puzzle in the new version.
Married Life 2021
Although HBO is a remake, the director's adaptation is very in place, and does not lose the charm of the original, this sexual transformation of "Married Life", the pace is slowed down, the presentation is more delicate.
After 48 years, the male and female protagonists exchanged scripts, and some things changed, but some things still did not change.
For example, the new version of the heroine will make money than the male protagonist, but when describing what kind of person she is, she is the same as the old version of the heroine, showing a state of aphasia.
They will say that they are so-and-so's wife, so-and-so's mother, but their positioning of themselves is vague...
For example, the change of perspective of men and women prompts the characters to face the same thing, and their behavior has changed accordingly.
In the film, there is such a plot.
Unable to accept that the marriage had broken up overnight, Jonathan began to see a psychiatrist, learn to write a morning diary, and try to understand his inner thoughts.
And this transformation, he and Mila have been together for so long, never happened.
When Mira reunites with him and begs Jonathan to share what he has written, she listens attentively and is touched by his sincere words, Jonathan is unabashedly vulnerable, and in that moment Mira empathizes and the two hearts are reconnected...
But in the old version, the male protagonist played the role of Mira, the party who chose to leave the marriage first.
When the male protagonist asked the female protagonist to read to him the diary she had written, the male protagonist lay on his back on the sofa, and was not moved by the female protagonist's revealing of his heart, he did not even listen attentively, and directly slept over...
Differences in the way men and women think bring diversity, but they also create barriers.
The timing of speaking, emotions, mentality, tone, will affect the relationship changes between both parties...
In a word, it may bring understanding, but it may also bring misunderstanding.
How to honestly face your true feelings in marriage and properly express yourself to each other is a problem that everyone will encounter.
When Mira was struggling with whether to have a second child, Jonathan kept saying: Listen to you, if you want to be born, you will be born, and if you don't want to be born, we will not be born.
At that time, Mira had not shown any signs of leaving, and as a marriage community, Jonathan thoughtfully and generously said the above...
In the end, the two weighed their interests and chose abortion.
Jonathan didn't say it, but he didn't want to do it in his heart, and he was late when he got to the hospital...
Obviously, Mira was more panicked than he was and needed his comfort, but he ran away, did not want to be in the same room with her, and insisted on going out to buy Coke...
Back home, Jonathan sulks, ignoring what Mira is going through...
When Mira offered to leave him, she didn't even have the courage to mention the word "abortion."
At this time, Jonathan jumped out of the sentence: You say abortion? That's what you mean.
He stripped himself of his responsibilities, as if he had an abortion and became a willful act of Merah...
The words ostensibly concerned about Merah, but in the end they throw the problem back to her.
What is even more uncomfortable is that in this process, simply harshly criticizing one party cannot solve the problem, and the harm of speaking, ineffective communication, will only make people sigh...
The seemingly mysterious marriage makes It impossible for Meera to ignore the voice in her heart.
Originally, she thought that maybe without one child, the relationship between the two people would be less variable.
Until her friend reminds her: Are you stupid? Who needs to use abortion to preserve a marriage?
As a person in the bureau, Mira was shocked when she heard this...
If love blinds people, then marriage makes people sober.
The trivial daily life of chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea punctures the pink bubble of love.
People began to think about the house and car tickets, and then what school the children would go to, which side's home to go to during the New Year's Festival, and so on...
These real daily routines are not all scenes that are inevitable to happen in marriage, but they are the norm that most people are facing.
Marriage is not a protective cover of love, not a marriage and everything is fine, it needs your painstaking management, it needs two people to cooperate.
Rilke once said: I feel that getting married does not mean tearing down and tearing down all the boundaries and building a hurried common life. In an ideal marriage, husband and wife entrust each other to serve as guardians of their own loneliness, and both express to each other the greatest trust they must give to each other.
Being aware of oneself in intimate relationships and understanding one's emotional needs is something that needs to be learned.
Over the years, The love between Mira and Jonathan has been worn out by time, and with her frequent travels and gatherings, she is more like a tool to fulfill her legal obligations, living in an environment where there is only moral bondage.
Mira calls marriage a delicate state of equilibrium that requires both husband and wife to maintain together.
But she gradually discovered that the relationship between the two people, with the passage of time, has become fragile...
Her departure was a choice that had to be made in a state of chaos, an escape in a closed state.
Marriage is like a net, trapping the impermanence and mediocrity of the world, but the standard of happiness only exists in the hearts of the parties.
Marriage is not perfect, love is not perfect, we are not perfect, I am not perfect.
As a netizen said: a good life is not necessarily only through marriage, marriage is not necessarily suitable for everyone, in real love, there must be pain and tears, compromise and sacrifice.
