Marriage Story

在第一次看Marriage Story时，就对里面的霸道离婚律师Nora印象超级深刻。这个角色直接就帮Laura Dern拿下了今年金球奖的最佳女配角。

电影里Nora对客户温柔体贴，有同理心，像一位多年未见的老朋友。对待对手时则一针见血，字字珠玑，气场爆棚，让人看完简直想鼓掌。

今天二刷，附上她在电影中超出彩的一段话，值得大家好好品品。

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, father was 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 don’t absolutely accept those same faillings 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 is perfect. She is a virgin who gives birth, unwaveringly supports her child and holds his 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 and higher standard. And it’s fucked up, but that’s the way it is.
