In creating BEFORE DIVORCE, I aim to explore the profound impact of mundane family matters on marriage and the helplessness and choices people face when reality conflicts with their ideals. Although the story of You Tiao and Mei Hui appears to revolve around a quarrel over a shirt, it unveils long-standing family conflicts and personal grievances accumulated over twenty years. Through their on-and-off relationship, I want the audience to feel the fragility and resilience of modern marriages, as well as the complex interplay of love and responsibility.
\nThe film strives to reveal the reality and helplessness of family life through delicate emotional portrayals. I hope the audience can see reflections of their own lives in the characters’ fates, evoking resonance and introspection.<\/p>\n","time":"89min","year":"2024","color":"Color","category":"Fiction","language":"","country":"China","resolution":"","award-bg":{"ID":76602,"id":76602,"title":"\u5267\u71674","filename":"\u5267\u71674-3.jpg","filesize":11716782,"url":"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/\u5267\u71674-3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/en\/movies-en\/film-library-en\/before-divorce\/attachment\/%e5%89%a7%e7%85%a74-13\/","alt":"","author":"69","description":"","caption":"","name":"%e5%89%a7%e7%85%a74-13","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":75672,"date":"2024-07-01
