| Far from Heaven / int_2dc86617 | comment |
Did Not Get The Guy: Cathy tells Raymond that they can be together now that she's single but he rejects her due to the racism plaguing the town they both live in and tells her that he's planning to take his daughter and move away. Cathy impulsively suggests that she come with them and that they make a fresh start elsewhere, but he sadly tells her that the reaction to their relationship would be negative no matter where they went. | |

Stepford Smiler: Cathy. She babbles on about random nonsense after catching her husband with another man and won't even get upset after he accidentally hits her. This makes the scene where she bawls her eyes out after losing Frank and Raymond all the more wrenching. | |

Retraux | |
| Far from Heaven / int_92dfffae | comment |
Retraux: Set in The '50s, this movie imitates the look and feel of movies produced back then, specifically the melodramas of Douglas Sirk — the plot is almost lifted from All That Heaven Allows. The score is by Elmer Bernstein, who composed music for several famous films in the '50s. | |

Significant Wardrobe Shift: At the film's conclusion, Cathy is wearing a suit with a pencil skirt rather than the puffy swing skirts and dresses she's worn throughout the film, implying that she's developing into a more independent woman. | |

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Played with. Cathy and Raymond's fling is the "good" one, but even though Frank's is technically "bad", it's presented sympathetically due to his struggling with his homosexuality. | |
