Synopsis – What to Expect from “The War of the Roses”
The War of the Roses is a 1989 black comedy film directed by Danny DeVito and starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.
The film follows the story of Barbara and Oliver Rose, a seemingly perfect couple who have been married for many years. They seem to have a perfect life, but when Oliver begins to take Barbara for granted, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
The Roses’ marriage begins to deteriorate rapidly and they soon find themselves engaged in a bitter divorce battle. They each hire lawyers to fight for their respective rights, but it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary divorce. The Roses are determined to win the war at any cost, and their lawyers become more and more involved in the conflict.
Things become even more complicated when the Roses must decide how to divide their assets. They also must decide who will get custody of their beloved pet dog, Scruffy.
The Roses become increasingly hostile and spiteful as the divorce battle intensifies. They begin to use tactics that would make even the most hardened divorce lawyer blush. Eventually, the Roses’ war of attrition comes to a head, and the outcome is both unexpected and heartbreaking.
The War of the Roses is a darkly comic look at the breakdown of a marriage, and is a testament to the power of love and the destruction that can come from taking it for granted. It is a powerful and thought-provoking film that will leave viewers pondering the true meaning
