Today is a special day-International Women’s Day, so I’d like to recommend a special film for all the women.

Film: A Good Woman
Director: Mike Barker
Cast: Helen Hunt/Scarlett Johansson/Tom Wilkinson

A Good Woman is a drama film adapted from Oscar Wild’s famous play Lady Windermere’s Fan.
I just want to comment on a few insightful sentences in the movie.

1. Marriage is based on mutual misconceptions.
How many secrets husband and wife keep from each other, though some of them are out of good intentions? Sometimes the good intentions cause greater hurt rather than telling the truth. Robert doesn’t want to reveal the identity of Mrs Erlynne to Meg just because he doesn’t want to shatter her fairy-tale imagination of her mother. But what is the price? Meg is crazy that her husband falls in love with another woman. She is at the verge of being seduced by Lord Darlington if not her mother finds out her in time. Maybe others would put the blame on Meg, why she just simply believes in her husband?
I think it’s easy to say and hard to do. How can you judge whether your sweetheart betrays you? Wait and see? Actually Meg has seen it by her own eyes that her husband stays with Mrs. Erlynne and gives her money. If I were Meg, I would not believe Robert, either. I think Robert is the one who to blame, why doesn’t just tell Meg the truth? Is it so difficult to put it straight rather than seeing their marriage destroyed? Talked about Meg, the fault is that she wants to revenge, to get Robert’s notice again by plunging into another man’s breast. Anyway, I should say, people become real fools when they fall in love, so whether we’ll make the same mistakes is hard to say.

2. Before you get married, you have to keep your eyes open widely and after marriage, only half open.
Actually not only the marriage, but all the important choices in life should be considered carefully beforehand, and after you’ve made the choice, you’d better do your best to make it as good as possible, not to regret, because that’s only waste of time
