An Unmarried Woman

An Unmarried Woman was made in 1978 and directed by Paul Mazursky. Erica who is married 17 wonderful years in her life and finds out after lunch with her husband that has been cheated on for over a year with a women her husband met at Bloomingdales while buying a shirt. She learns on how to move on with her life and keep looking forward.

I feel this movie was very well played with the different events that happened to her within the movie. I feel it would be hard to be in love with your husband for so long and then find out of a enjoyable lunch that you have been cheated on for almost a year. That must be a sick feeling to feel and experience something so shocking. For the example while she throws up after realizing that situation just happened with her husband. I feel during the whole movie, the steps she went through to get passed her ex husband was realistic as can be. I like how she becomes independent for herself and does things she never would have still being married. I think she made the right decision on not going to Vermont with her new b.f and stay in Manhattan and buying a new place for herself and her daughter. I think it was a new life for her to get passed the old one once and for all.
