Green Card 1991

Green Card     

     From the beginning of the story, both of the main characters got their purposes to put the marriage on a show; the man, George, wanted more opportunity of work in the U.S. In order to apply for permanent residence, of course, he had to get the “green card.” On the other hand, the woman, Bronte, was longing for an apartment in which she could have her dreaming green house in Manhattan. The problem is that they initially didn’t realize how big the troubles they had trapped themselves in. Not only did they have to keep their fake relationship working in front of the officials of the immigration but they also have to start to face with the differences between them.
     Moreover, the gap of different culture, life pattern, personality, and point of view caused many a conflict. Just like a common newly married couple, problems which hadn’t been noticed came to the surface after moving into together. In this film we can see evident contrast between man and woman. The former one is rational and the other one is more perceptual. It’s sure that differences became the obstacles in the relationship, but I think that is one of the trials towards love. If one love someone, virtue and beauty would definitely be loved while weak point and bad habits also must be embrace.
     In some case, even the shortcoming can be turn into a good on after influencing on each other like George and Bronte did in the film. With the romantic and happy times they had gone through, gradually they fell in love with each other. George saw the beauty Bronte had both on her outside appearance and her inside characteristic; meanwhile, Bronte found out that George was funny and reliable. However, it’s not the ending of the story. Although they realize each other’s affection before George leave, there would be plenty of problems if they truly married and that’s the biggest point in the film that marriage is not as easy as we think it is.
