《母女情深》 本片是一部温馨小品,旨在以人生酸甜苦辣来诠释母女复杂亲情关系,当年以黑马姿态赢得影片情节感人,从幽默到严肃,风格逐渐过渡。本片是詹姆斯·布鲁克斯的编导处女作。1996年的续集《常在我心间延续篇:动人季节》(又译《亲密关系1997》, The Evening Star)讲述奶奶和三个外孙的故事。整个影片其实不止反映了母女之情,还有夫妻之情,情人之情(母亲,女儿,女婿和他们各自的情人们),朋友之情(女儿和Patsy,母亲和家佣Rosey),祖孙之情,...几乎包括一切亲情,爱情,和友情,只不过以母女关系为主线罢了。现在看来翻译成《母女情深》过于狭义,不如直译《爱的含义》更贴切。
影片中宇航员半夜接到母亲的邀请电话去母亲卧室那一段,真是妙。母亲说请宇航员来欣赏Renoir的画,只不过这副画是在卧室。等宇航员答应后,母亲忙着挑一件半透睡袍,调暗灯光,精心制造气氛,而Nicholson刚游完泳,敞着怀穿着还滴水的短裤小偷般探头进去,和母亲的高贵形成鲜明对比,实在让人发笑。母亲要关掉灯,宇航员说他喜欢开灯睡觉,母亲当即回应“那你就回家去开灯吧。”结果还是两人一起掀被上床。整部影片除了最后女儿去世凄惨一点以外,总体来说还是比较幽默的。
