Does anyone think the movie kinda trivialises domestic violence?
I know it's a true story, but in real life they got divorced. It could've shown that, but instead it showed them living happily ever after.
shareThey didn’t get divorced.
shareThat's so weird, I was sure I remembered reading that they did, I must be going crazy. However, I still think it was a little odd for it to end the way it did, considering what a terrible husband he was.
shareThey didn't get divorced. Loretta stayed with Doo until he died. Also, she said that he never hit her. So, the instances of that happening in the movie are BS. However, he was an alcoholic who would get drunk, and cheat on her. She did say that he believed in her absolutely, and it was because of him pushing her that she was able to become famous.
Alcoholism is a terrible disease/illness/mental disorder. My uncle was an alcoholic, and (like Doo) he cheated on his wife whenever he got drunk. Eventually, he got sober, and never cheated on her again.
Where did you hear she said he never hit her? That is absolutely false. Loretta Lynn not only talks about getting hit by her husband, but also talks retaliating against him (despite it not being shown in the movie).
She is even quoted saying, "Everytime Doo smacked me, he smacked hit twice."
