For those of you who haven't watched the movie, you should read the summary below. If you have, just scroll over it
"Acrimony” is a story about bitterness and anger. Melinda relates her story to the shrink, the story flashes back to the early days of her relationship with Robert whom she meets when they're both in college. The young Melinda quickly falls for the handsome and charming Robert, although she resents him taking her virginity while she's still grieving the death of her mother. But she finds it hard to resist, especially when he puts on a record by Nina Simone and tells her, "Her voice is like going to church."
The couple's relationship hits a considerable speed bump when Melinda catches Robert cheating on her and she retaliates by ramming his RV with her car. But it's Melinda who comes out the worse for wear, suffering injuries that leave her unable to bear children.
Despite the loud objections of her sisters who accuse Robert of being a shameless gold digger, Melinda agrees to marry him even though he's impoverished. She works two jobs to support them as he works endlessly on his design of a rechargeable battery that he says will revolutionize technology. When it's finished, he assures her, he'll buy her a diamond ring, a yacht and everything else she desires.
Cut to years later, when Robert is unable to even get a meeting with Prescott Industries, apparently the only company in the world that might be interested in such an invention. Melinda becomes increasingly angry and frustrated over their living conditions. She finally she asks him for a divorce
Not long after, Robert strikes it rich and, as icing on the poisonous cake, gets back together with Diana, the woman with whom he had his dalliance years earlier and who now happens to be working for Prescott Industries. And that's when Melinda goes seriously crazy and filled with rage.
At the end of the movie, she shot Robert and she herself drowned.
So here is what I think
At the beginning of the movie, where Melinda gave Robert her all( I mean everything she had, money, time and all), I thought and said to myself i can never do this, never!!!, why on earth would I put my life on hold because of a man dreams.
Why should I even stress myself just to hold and keep something that is even broken in the first place ( if you know what I mean). I can't even store up so much anger in me, for what!! LOVE??. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM A FAN OF LOVE BUT I DON'T LOSE MY BRAIN IN THE PROCESS
A woman supports you with all she has for over 20 years but was too tired to continue, you made it and you deemed it fit to spend your success with another woman who gave you encouragement for just a little while? That's trash
- If you are not happy in a relationship, please get out of it of you can't work it out( that's if it even needs working out) coz guess what!! Life is a b*tch and you might just end up on the losing end. Forget KARMA, it might fight for you but what of it's too LATE
