`` Marriage Story '' has attracted attention and has become a fertile artistic material for circulation since its premiere in Venice, specifically during the 76th edition of the 2019 Venice International Film Festival on August 28.

strength point
One of the strengths of the film other than the performance of its protagonists and dialogue and the eyes of its director interested in details, is the dramatic plot of realism on which the film was built, as it revolves around the couple Charlie and Nicole, who together throughout the work relationship of marriage with all its strengths and weaknesses.

The moments in which they love each other, and the other moments that they want to leave feeling absolutely impossible to continue together, which is in line with the appearance of the couple in a courtroom in the thrill of the film.

This atmosphere, where the fresh beginnings are very emotional and painful endings that indicate something that shows that time can not be bet on, reminiscent of the romantic masterpieces such as the American film "Kramer vs. Kramer" (Kramer vs. Kramer) for the heroes Al Pacino and Meryl Streep from the seventies, as well as The Swedish film "Fanny and Alexander" from the 1980s.

The thrill of the film itself was one of the attractions. The director was keen to make two ads, not one, the first titled "What do I like in Charlie?" In which the wife lists what attracts her to her husband, she describes him as a paternity lover, knows what he wants, endures her mood swings and does not make her feel bad because of her, can be trusted, and many other things that are listed against the background of the song `` I've Been Loving You Too Long).

The second teaser was "What I like in Nicole?" In which the husband describes what he loves is in his wife such as being a great dancer and love for idealism, and a mother loves to play with her children, and knows how to choose wonderful gifts, and love to compete, and knows when to push the person forward and when to leave him alone, which is what Displays the musical background itself.

This suggests that the director did not deal with the work either superficially or from the point of view of pure masculine or feminist brazen, as much as he wanted his work to come true and enough. But the idea of ​​the two ads also reminds us of the trilogy "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby".

Director and author Ned Benson presented the same storyline on three films between 2013 and 2014 with three angles for release from the perspective of the heroine, hero and original story as they took place from outside.

A true story .. but
Although the news circulated by some artistic sites that the work is only a biography adapted from the experience of divorce experienced by director Noah Bombak, which ignited the enthusiasm of the audience towards the film, wishing himself to look closely to the life of a celebrity and to steal his pain, but Bombak stated that The film is like a huge personal project in which he put his experience from more than one direction.

Although he separated from his wife in 2013, he made him personally familiar with the modern steps and procedures. However, the film also drew part of the divorce of his parents, as well as the divorce of two close friends who separated him while writing the work story.

This, in turn, encouraged him to meet with many lawyers, judges, intermediaries and psychotherapists, which resulted in a number of statements and statements, all of which are true but do not necessarily belong to him alone, so that everyone he met at the time of the preparation of the film in one way or another is part of the experience.

About love and loss
