Mother in movies of this time


Seems like mothers got a bad rap around this time in the movies. I'm thinking of this movie, Close Encounters, and Ordinary People. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think these movies necessarily tried to show the mothers' POV enough to weight any sympathy for them.

Recently rewatched this and changed my mind on it. Meryl Streep's character is given plenty opportunity to show who she is.
