Kramer vs. Kramer
Kramer vs. Kramer begins when Joanna Kramer bluntly informs her husband Ted that she's leaving him, just as his advertising career is advancing and demanding most of his waking hours. After a lifetime of being "somebody's mother or somebody's wife" Joanna goes off to find herself. Self-involvement becomes just one of the film's underlying themes, along with the search for identity that prompts Joanna to leave Ted with their first-grade son, who now finds himself living with a workaholic parent he barely knows. Juggling his domestic challenge with professional deadlines, Ted becomes further pressured when his wife files for custody of their son. Kramer vs. Kramer forces the viewer to reflect on the impact of a failed marriage and the tumultuous shift of parental roles.
