At the beginning of the movie, there is a metaphorical picture, a tennis ball is flying over and over in front of the net, and suddenly the tennis ball hits the net. If the ball turns over, you win, if the tennis ball does not turn over, you lose, just like in life. Many critical moments often have a lot of luck components, your destiny is like a ball of luck, winning or losing is always instantaneous. This is a good philosophy of life, and the movie may be to expound such a philosophy.
Wilton, played by Meyers, is a tennis coach who came to London from Ireland. But soon met hivate and his middle-class family through coaching tennis, and they quickly became friends. Once hivate invited Wilton to an opera performance, his friend's sister fell in love with Wilton at first sight. But Wilton appears to be his friend's girlfriend, Nora, played by Scarlett. The whole film is filled with gloom and seriousness that is unique to the UK. My friend's sister took her to an art exhibition, went to a drama rehearsal together, and involuntarily fell into an emotional whirlpool with her friend's sister, and then involuntarily married her. Why is it so fast, he didn't even think about it himself. That kind of rich life, negotiating and simply dealing with people, whether he loves her or not, they get married. Maybe meeting Nora at a family reunion and he starts to regret it, but it's all out of his control. Still, he maintains a lover relationship with the sexy Nora. Once Nora accidentally became pregnant, which made Wilton wake up from a dream. In this way, Nora is not just her own sexy plaything, and all the real problems will follow.
On the one hand, living a monotonous and rigid life with his wife every day, having sex every day is just to conceive a child as soon as possible and leave blood for his entire family. Then he went out to dinner with his wife and friends, and metaphysically chatted some questions for fun. He could only stare at them blankly and answer from time to time. Despite this, he still got a good job, a big house, and a superior aristocratic life. Find Nora to vent her desires in her spare time, looking for a life full of passion. Everything seemed to be peaceful, and it seemed that it could be passed in such a peaceful way. But as Nora became pregnant, she was determined not to abort the child and asked him to break up with his wife.
Wilton is selfish in the face of reality, and he won't ruin his good job and his good life because of a lover. And Nora pressed on. Wilton came up with an extremely primitive and bestial way to end it all, which was to kill Nora. Only when Nora dies will all this really end, and his life may be restored to peace forever.
The drama of the movie is that Wilton manages to kill Nora by successfully passing an inning. He first shot Nora's neighbor, and symbolically robbed the neighbor's house, taking the neighbor's ring and drugs, and then killed Nora in the aisle. All this can make the police think that a drug-addicted hooligan did it all. The hooligan first robbed the neighbor's house, and when he was about to leave, he happened to run into Nora when he was leaving, and killed her. The police also followed Wilton's bureau to guess. Wilton walked to the river and threw the stolen things into the river. Just as he threw the ring, the ring was blocked by the embankment like the tennis ball. This block completes Wilton's inning, and Wilton seems to have won the match for this match point. The ring happened to be picked up by a drug-addicted hooligan and carried in his hand, and because of the hooligan's death, the police's previous self-righteous reasoning became logical.
