Once the lawyers are involved in divorce or whatever case might be

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2019)

The divorce would suddenly turn ugly. The lawyers would try every way to make a big deal out of it and try very hard not so easily to settle it in more civilized way.
What we got in this movie are a couple who already stayed together, lived together so long. Their family life was as common and ordinary as most the normal married couples in almost any country. They knew each other's good and bad elements, and they've already adjusted themselves to accommodate each other, and they both loved their kid wholeheartedly. Until the husband's Alpha male chauvinism got the high ground, until the wife suddenly realized there're things that she couldn't bulge so easily from her more and more demanding husband. But the husband's ego simply couldn't swallow the sudden change of their marital environment, a climate change in their home.
And gradually the situation deteriorated until to a point of no return.
Then lawyers got involved, common laws were implemented, lot of people who related to the couple, the husband and wife also got involved. Once things have turned from bad to worse, the dignity, the face, the whatever would suddenly become so important, so they and everybody started to hurt each other, and the lawyers they hired were circling like vultures and vampires, they smelled blood from a rotten corpse of a marriage, grasped any piece of the rotten meat they could snatch.
A once a perfectly synchronized couple, a normal Papa, Mama and kid family was then tore apart. All the intolerance, compromises, niceties, love and good memories were tossed out of the window, the home and the negotiation desk presided by lawyers on both sides became the battlefield. The husband, the wife and especially their kid, became the casualties, the wounds were so deep and wide open, no ambulance could save them in time; they were all the modern day victims from a broken family, not from the gunshot of bullets, but unspeakable, indescribable of all shortcomings as a human, inconciliable, uncompatile, inconciliables blind fury and stubbornness. They were manipulated by their own lawyer to attack, to hurt and retaliate before they were attacked or hurt by the person who sat on the opposite of the negotiation table.
My wife told me after she watched this movie: "Marriage, in the end, only means when you become old, there's someone beside you, a company who dine with you, to take a walk with you, to check on you at night to see if you are still breathing, to accompany you to see the doctor, to pick up your medicine refills for you. The most miserable thing that could ever happen to you is you eat alone, sleep alone; even for the purpose of more peaceful and undisturbed reason, you both decided to sleep in a separate room. I can only say for myself that EATING ALONE, SITTING ALONE and TALKING ONLY TO YOURSELF are the most miserable, pathetic and hopeless things that you have to face and deal with it when you become old. Marriage, is just finding a lifelong person to accompany you when you become old."
And I have to add just one more line: "Forget about your kids, your siblings, your....They are just irrelevant 3rd Parties."
