Ordinary People - Trailer

This movie describes how I felt most of my life while growing up, and even sometimes to this day.

Beth, Calvin, and their son Conrad are living in the aftermath of the death of the other son. Conrad is overcome by grief and misplaced guilt to the extent of a suicide attempt. He is in therapy. Beth had always preferred his brother and is having difficulty being supportive to Conrad. Calvin is trapped between the two trying to hold the family together.

Gay people are as natural as the sunrise. I think your hatred is unnatural.

this was filmed in my high school!!!!!!!!!! lake forest, il

Anyone who lived, or grew up, in Lake Forest knows it is not a typical town. Not only is it much wealthier than typical, but there is a subdued, claustrophobic coziness to it that is very distinct. It is a place where one keeps up appearances - and paints one room Marshall Field's Green. To me, this film is as much about Lake Forest as about the characters. Or rather, I cannot think of a better place to set the story. The melancholia of early winter in LF is very special.

This movie reflects my life. I did one thing wrong and lost everything in life. I had to rebuild from scratch. I do not like the indifference shown by the mom to her son but she is right in saying it is a private matter. It is not because words get twisted and stories spun around it when you open up to people. It is because Conrad's vulnerability will be exploited by some people to ruin the family. It amazes me how some people have no moral conscience.

@ItBrandonSilver who cares about the oscars anyway? theyre ruled by politics and show nothing about film excellence

[JazzKeyboardist1]

the only thing hard to believe is beth not going to the hopital to see conrad after death attempt,, most husbands would say that would be a marriage breaker,,, was it that way in the novel?

@vadimzdonutube. when i saw this movie in 1980 i thought it was just an average movie. over time i realized the greatness of the movie. i thought this was the best movie of the 1980's. as great as raging bull was, i thought ordinary people to be better. this was anything but an ordinary story dealing with ordinary people
