In September, we described in thick lines "Marriage Story," a film directed and written by Noah Baumbach, who based the story on his divorce from actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. It has been a masterpiece for months, but the general public has been watching it on Netflix since December 6th. If you haven't seen it, get your boyfriend, husband or partner and pay attention. Let Marriage Story serve as a fable from which to teach.
It all starts with Charlie (Adam Driver) telling all the things he likes about Nicole (Scarlett Johansson. She's "brave," "knows how to dance well" and "knows when to push her and when to leave her alone." After him, Nicole Shows what she likes about Charlie. He "knows how to dress nicely and is never embarrassed, which is rare for men." He "cries when he sees movies in the cinema" and "likes to be a dad." later we find out that the lists are written - but never read - as a task given by the one who will mediate their divorce. , a good life? How can you divorce when things are so normal?
That is why everyone should be seen in love.
First, Marriage Story makes it clear that we know what is wrong and what will turn into a problem in the future at the beginning of a relationship. But that never stops us from falling in love, otherwise what life would mean. Nicole didn't know what to do, so she followed Charlie's path and eventually accused her of not allowing her a voice in that marriage. Charlie on the other hand, didn't want to get married so early, but she did so with full awareness. In the end, she accused Nicole of pushing her. As we said in September, when you are privileged, you have to double down to get yourself a job. Although the relationship generally looks good, it is the small things that rot it.
Second, "Marriage Story" is a light of hope. Some call it a movie about divorce, others call it a movie about love. The second is more accurate. Although Charlie and Nicole quarrel and clash, cry and wish each other death, hold on, and cast stakes, the love between them is not lost. There is no hope of return, but as love that is alienated, so is the hope of the viewer; hope that feelings do not fade away, they simply transform.
Third, the family dynamic in the film is extremely important. The whole divorce legal process revolves around Charlie and Nicole's son, named Henry. No one has any money or possessions, they just want time with the boy. And even though they agree on an equal sharing of custody, they often do not know what to do with the time earned. It's a new world, a new routine. moreover, the feelings of an average 8-year-old make everything difficult. However, not for his own sake, but because such is the nature of a family, they are never completely detached. They are simply another kind of hope-fueled family that we talked about above.
It is still unclear to Nicole and Charlie should serve as examples or as examples for those who will one day be in their home country. Until then, if that happens, keep that in mind.
