Money, when you are very short of money, the devil takes advantage of it. What he wants to buy is love and soul.
Diana, played by Demi Moore, is adamant that love cannot be bought.
The devil thinks so.
This devil is rich, handsome, and polite. He does not lack the courage to spend a lot of money, but he lacks a favorite mistress. The woman he likes is someone else's wife, so he offers $1 million to buy her for one night.
David, a husband, a man who pursued his dreams wholeheartedly, has a wife who loves him, but is destitute.
All night, they tossed and turned, they thought about it. His indecision at the beginning let her know that he wanted the million; the strength of the devil also had a huge temptation for her.
At that moment, he was shaken for a million pairs of love; she was shaken by love for a more attractive person.
Finally, DEEL. DONE. FORGET.
Husbands and wives believe so naively, but they can't even convince themselves. The devil knows it's just the beginning.
Sure enough, there was suspicion, prevarication, resistance, and separation.
The film proposes a multiple-choice question, but it is not just between money and love, but also between possession and boredom, between personality and material.
What this deal destroys is not love, but mutual trust. Trust is a good medicine that can make a marriage last longer, it depends on whether you can catch it or not.
The end result is that trust has returned, but it is more like a Hollywood legend, a result of mainstream values that need to be confirmed, rather than reality.
The reality is, a gentleman who is rich, more attractive, who knows how to accomplish, is evil, but is essentially kind, why should he lose to someone who doesn't trust himself? Just because he gave up 1 million easily and walked away slumped?
You say it's a fairy tale, but fairy tales tend to be bright and colorful, rich and powerful hero and heroine, why should it fulfill a poor boy?
I'm not a money worshipper, but I believe that once you make a pact with the devil, your deal is for life, providing an opportunity for the souls of all living beings to be traded.
PS: Demi Moore was so beautiful 17 years ago, this kind of melancholy and determined woman has always been my favorite. The same is true of her in "The Ghosts Are Never Ended".
