One day during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I woke up unexpectedly early, and accidentally clicked on a movie link pushed by a public account, which was "Infidelity". The two-hour movie is not too long but not too short. I wanted to come in and have a general look at the plot and get a general idea of ​​the movie, and then I was ready to get up and start the vacation, but I was firmly attracted by the picture. Not only was there no fast-forward in the process, but instead there were many times of playback of certain details and environments, in order to better appreciate the taste. At that time, I only hoped that the baby around me would wake up later and later, so that I could read it in one breath.


Why Attractive - Because of Similarity or Yearning, Turning to Curious

The family of the protagonist in the movie is a typical middle class in the United States. Husband Edward is a company executive. He has been married to his wife Connie for 11 years and has an 8-year-old son. As a full-time wife, his wife takes care of her husband and children with all her heart, and participates in social affairs such as children's school directors and public auctions. , can be considered to have a richer life and a certain degree of communication, not a full-time wife who only cooks and does housework in the traditional sense. The relationship between their husband and wife is real, delicate and warm, and they can be said to be a model husband and wife.

As far as the setting of this family and the setting of Connie are concerned, it can be said that there are more or less similarities with seventy or eighty percent of the families in the city, or their life, whether it is work or love. Life is the goal that most people yearn for and strive for. I was attracted by this resemblance and this yearning. I just wanted to see how such a happy and peaceful life led to infidelity and the abyss step by step.


The culprit - the pinnacle experience

The first third of the page shows how Connie met the mysterious man, and how she was led to cheat by the curiosity in her heart. Connie is actually a good wife and a good mother. At least she did it before she met the mysterious man. She also felt that she would always live a peaceful and happy life like this, growing up with her children and growing old with her lover. For her it was not a dream, it was reality, a warm and indisputable reality.

But the moment she met the mysterious man, the moment she was aroused by the flirtation that broke in, she was already on the verge of falling. Later, although she tried to struggle, trying to get herself out of this lust, but in my opinion, she was just pretending to shirk in order to seek psychological comfort. In fact, at the very first moment, the outcome of her final fall had been set. At that time, she was calling her son to explain the situation, and the man gently held her hand and put the ice cube in her hand. At that time, Connie's body trembled slightly, and there was obvious panic in her words, but subconsciously In disguise, pretended to be calm and immediately hung up the phone. Judging from the reaction at this moment, she has completely fallen.

Because she hadn't experienced this kind of stimulation for too long. Or, she may have never experienced it. So in that instant, she was unable to extricate herself. And the follow-up plot is as smooth as a boat. I wanted to contact me, I pressed the phone again, and wanted to do something, but I suddenly pulled away rationally, but next time I still didn't fight the impulse and throbbing in my heart, and walked into the room again. The man is indeed a master of flirting. The first time or two, he let Connie show her entanglement in front of him. If she didn't do it, she just waited quietly. He knew that if there was no such a tangled process, Connie might end up in the end. You can't get past the psychological barrier. But enough entanglement and waiting actually gave Connie a buffer in her heart, and further aroused her lust, allowing her to finally take this step. He is very powerful, and everything is under his control. At that point in the spiritual world, when Connie was already tormented by her own lust, he shot. It was as easy as finding things in a bag, and without any accident, Connie fell completely.

There's a long shot of Connie in the film, on her way home after her first sex. The shots of this set are very realistic and spot on. Her aftertaste, her shyness, the pleasure of satisfying her inner desires, her fear and guilt in the face of her cheating has become a fact, all the feelings are vividly reflected in that section of the way home, which can be called the film is very interesting A tense, full-bodied section.


Soul torture: how to resist the temptation of peak experience

Anyone who has experienced this peak experience knows that it is indeed as fierce as poison.

However, I have a feeling I don't know if it's true. After really experiencing the peak experience, and then returning to calm, and then looking back at or evaluating the peak moment at that time, most people's evaluation will be much lower. Among them, there are people who destroyed their original lives because of the pursuit of peak experience, such as Connie, the regret in their hearts must be countless. But excluding her kind, if they are just people who tend to be flat and return to peace, there are many people who have reservations about this experience, and will often be wary of such an experience in their future lives.

Because people in a state of peak sense, their sanity is close to zero, so any decision made may be wrong, but it is in line with the direction of pursuing the peak. At this time, people's life may be shaky, because they lose their reason, but they think they are rational, and they think that it is okay to give up anything for the peak experience. At this time, it is actually quite scary.

I think it's really hard to let people who haven't experienced it reject that temptation. Only those who have experienced it and who can rationally evaluate the current state after returning to peace can face such moments with a little bit of vigilance and rationality. But to really reject it completely, the test for people is too great.

Of course, many people may not encounter such a time in their lives, or just for a short time. I think there is no need to regret, and sometimes it may be a blessing.

Any love, any experience, takes precedence over morality, it is worth thinking twice. Even though there may have been countless reasons at the time, like a moth, to swear to the flames, but after everything is over, if there are only ashes left, whether you can really bear it, it has already exceeded the ability of people to evaluate.

If you have time to watch it, follow Connie to experience what it's like to be at the top, and then keep yourself alert and sane about it. Connie's results are also sobering enough.
