Katie is a Jew and a socialist student steeped in Karl Marxism. Although he leads anti-war protests on campus, he works part-time and works late into the night to pay for tuition and living expenses. Hubbell, on the other hand, has no interest in politics at all, participates regularly in various sports events at the school, and is, of course, popular with female students. He is a young man with a wealthy family in the halo. Although these two are different, they have very different backgrounds, and in addition to that, they have very different views on society, politics, and religion. Always looking at the free-spirited Hubbell, Katie taunts her for being a fascist and rolls her eyes.
Katie doesn't really hate these Bubbells. It was because he was handsome and, in addition to that, his natural literary ability, specifically his ability to write novels, was considerable. But Hubbell doesn't appreciate his literary abilities very much, so he doesn't put much effort into it. Seeing this, Katie is deeply saddened. Hubbell also likes Katie. I am moved by his strong independence and the sacrifice he made to publicize this to other students by taking his feet on social issues. However, these two do not express these feelings at all while attending school.
These two, who haven't seen each other for a while after graduation, meet by chance at a party. You meet Katie, a career woman working for a radio station, and Hubbell, a naval officer who served in World War II.
After that, their love gradually materializes and becomes a reality. However, Hubbell's friends are people who are far from Katie's, and on the contrary, in Hubbell's view, Katie's subjective position was somewhat extremist, different from that of the mainstream society at the time, so frequent frictions occur.
Nevertheless, the two get married. Katie continues to work for a radio station, and Hubbell becomes a very successful film screenwriter. Of each difference just didnt even do not want the two people talking - then was to have a child life Hollywood blacklist events and McCarthy algorithm (which was a big issue at the time, but his stably established as McCarthyism came to dig into these life) issues It makes it very difficult between these two. The ideological and social conflict between the two, which comes back to the surface, makes their marriage increasingly difficult, plus Hubbell's continuing job as a screenwriter is also what makes Katie very disappointing - that It was the idea of wasting a good natural talent for public entertainment. Hubbell can no longer handle Katie like this, and the two decide to part.
One day, decades later, the two meet by chance in front of The Plaza Hotel. These two are in their middle age: Katie is a social activist and remarried, raising a daughter from Hubbel to her remarriage. Hubbell works as a screenwriter for a big TV show and hasn't remarried after her divorce from Katie. As always with Hubbell's girlfriends, the woman who accompanied him is a very beautiful looking man, well-dressed. The two talk about their daughter Rachel, but they refuse to accept Katie's offer to come see her - as the child's father had never done anything before, so he wouldn't be able to say that he would. The movie ends with the two people who met by chance and then went their separate ways again.
Although Barbra Streisand's song was a brilliant film, I remember it as a movie when Robert Redford's (rather than acting) appearance was at its best. In the case of Barbra, when he entered his early fifties, he was more fashionable than when he was young.
This is a late split the street conversation Kaite and Hubbell in the last part of the night for about 10 minutes after the film began their conversation content and ambient reduces the true hearts in the background. Empty night streets, a glass of beer, intersecting glances, and meaningful conversations - these are the cool elements. It's a scene that makes me miss these memories.
