Review of Mildred Pierce (1945) by Mathieu C — 11 Jun 2007
Great film about a woman who does anything to please the most ungrateful daughter in the world. Ive always felt that the character of Mildred Pierce only wants what she can't have, she wants the love of the daughter who doesn't love her and takes for granted the daughter that does.
She wants the man who betrays her and not the one that sticks by her the entire time. These wants drive her all the way to the top, economically of course. Look out for the metaphor involving the hard drinks, at the start of the film Mildred won't even touch liquor but by the end she is drinking it straight.
Great Film.
