I Learned Over The Years That It's

I Want To Explore Marriage Without The Usual Hallmark Card Platitudes. Life Is Difficult, And I Like Movies That Acknowledge That.

Life Has All Of These Contradictory Feelings And Contradictory Results. People Spend Their Whole Lives Struggling To Get What They Think They Want, And Even If They Get It, They Find That It's Either Not What They Wanted, Or It Comes With So Many Unwanted Consequences.

My Only Conclusion About Structure Is That Nothing Works If You Don't Have Interesting Characters And A Good Story To Tell.
