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.

  • Extraordinaria pelicula bajo la direccion de Redford y las actuaciones magistrales de MTM, D. Southerland, Hirsch y el ganador del oscar Timothy Hutton. Quiza no se debe de juzgar a la madre ya que su mecanismo de defensa era no mostrar sentimientos ni abrazos, debemos reflexionar que la culpa es el sentimiento mas barato y destructivo que existe, la recomeindo como una base para entender la psicologia de la gente comun y corriente.

  • @vadimzdonutube I know your comment is old but who the hell cares? Just because Raging Bull is more popular and more known doesn't mean it's a better movie. I wanted Raging Bull to win Best Picture aswell. But Ordinary People is a great movie in it's own way, you can't even compare the two movies anyway. They are both extremely different.

  • 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.

  • when is this movie going to be available on blu ray? it's on my top 5 of the best movies ever!

  • Oh Christ I keep welling up any time I see this flick!! Boy what a bitch MTM played, a great actress who did this role so well...

  • @pickledantique Canon in D

  • What is the name of the song? I really want to find it.

  • Ok people: who else was sent by Kevin Williamson!:) May the vampire power be with you!

  • 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
