"Infidelity".
I dug out a movie that I didn't know how long it had been on from the hard drive, and searched for the work of the director Lolita. The label read "plot thriller erotica".
The movie in 2002, it seems a bit old today, and it has a very old school flavor everywhere. This is a movie that played a bit vulgar in the first hour. It is quite satisfactory, and there are not many surprises. In the second third, the rhythm begins to accelerate and high energy appears, ending like a symphony. This is one of the reasons why I think it's very old school. I've observed that many old movies with some things do their best in the last third.
"Unfaithful", a very sharp word, strongly implies its subject matter, but this story is told in a familiar way, the wife's deviance, the husband's suspicion, the two lines are densely combined, and the moment of intersection is thrown out A bomb, although the plot is not difficult to guess, but the excellent film rhythm still tells the story very successfully. The details of this piece are used particularly well. The crystal ball as the key item appears - stealth - and then reappears, and the story is turned twice. There is also a corresponding theme. The note that the husband buried early in the crystal ball symbolizes the good expectations for family and marriage. This gift, which was secretly placed with the best wishes, was given to the lover by the wife, which is a perfect foreshadowing. So the crystal ball turned over and became a symbol of crime and punishment.
Family, passion, responsibility, crime and punishment are the third classic of this film. In this sense, Infidelity is an educational film. The film does not directly answer which one of responsibility and passion will have the last laugh. Instead, it uses an accident and a series of events that follow to completely tie the couple together. They repent, they repent, they carry everything they do. There is no room to ask deeper questions about love and marriage, and even the climax scene ends after a short burst:
- because i know you too well , connie
- i know you but i hate you too
- I don't want (), I want ()!
(Manual spoiler prevention)
In this sense, the couple ushering in the end of the film in the car in the wind and rain is also a rather metaphorical picture. In the end they have only each other, both a gift of repentance and a punishment that cannot be freed from.
