Values Behind The Story
Individualism/collectivism
Fifteen months later, after Joanna leaving home, when the Ted and Joanna met again, Joanna said that “All my life I feel I’m somebody’s wife or somebody’s mother or somebody’s daughter, even though the time we were together, I never knew who I was, and that’s why I had to go away”.
Think in others' shoes.
It' really impressed me that the couples were on the court.
Think in others' shoes.
Actually, their lawyer try their best to achieve their goal, but just their words made the Kramers start to think of themselves. When the lawyer asked the Mrs. Kramer harshly, she started to realize that how selfish she is, while Mr. Kramer realized that the success of his career is not only his hard working, but with the help from his family and friends too.
Why Did The Movie Succeed
From the cultural impact Kramer vs. Kramer reflected a cultural shift which occurred during the 1970s, when ideas about motherhood and fatherhood were changing. The film was widely praised for the way in which it gave equal weight and importance to both Joanna and Ted's points of view.
Film Introduction

Thinking
On the court the lawyer of Ted asked Joanna the question for three times:
Were you failure at the most important relationship in your life? Joanna answer respectively: It was not a failure. I consider it less my failure than his. Yes.
Thinking
Were you failure at the most important relationship in your life?
My opinion: • In a way，it’s failure，so that Joanna left home and to find herself；In another way， what does failure mean？Is that successful that having a peaceful family but without self-achievement？

Billy: That's why Mommy left, isn't it? Because I was bad?
Values Behind The Story
Ted: That's not it, Billy. Your mom loves you very much and the reason she left has nothing to do with you. I think the reason why Mommy left was because for a long time l kept trying to make her be a certain kind of person. A certain kind of wife that I thought she was supposed to be.
