Marriage Story (2019) – The Blueprint of Dissolution and Reconfiguration
Modern cinema has evolved from telling stories about the nuclear family to telling stories about the forged family. The blended families on screen today—from the water-world of Pandora to the high school hallways of The Edge of Seventeen —share a common thesis: The family you choose is harder to maintain than the family you are born into.
A seminal example of this shift is Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma (2018), which, while set in the 1970s, exemplifies the modern cinematic approach to unconventional family units. The film highlights how a domestic worker and a abandoned mother form a blended, resilient matriarchy to raise children together.
Modern cinema has stopped using children as props in adult dramas.
