"One Night Love" I think is an extraordinary movie sketch, including the music interspersed in the film. The softness and distantness of the ending song stirs up the emotions that have been accumulated in the heart during the viewing of the movie and will be scattered like fine wine. The deep, meditative cello turns the fiction of the film into a feeling of something in reality. The story of the film is concise and the narrative is stable. The two main lines are interspersed with each other, echoing and contrasting with each other. However, the emotions of the characters in the film are surging.

The protagonist of the story is a young couple who have been in love for four years, married for three years, materially superior, successful in their careers, comfortable in life, and truly in love with each other - Michael (Sam Worthington) and Joanna (Keira Worthington). Keira Knightley plays). All the words used to describe them are so perfect, but, like most people, the peaceful life after marriage, the desire for freedom and love in the relationship between husband and wife makes them consciously or unintentionally embark on a betrayal. edge. To break the loyalty to each other is to fall into the arms of erotic desire. The protagonist's inner emotions swing between loyalty to each other and personal love.

The story of the movie is not complicated, and I think it will surely resonate with many viewers. During the whole process of the incident, only the hero and heroine themselves knew whether they had betrayed him (her), and how they felt about facing him (her) again after betrayal. I can't forget how I stared into his (her) eyes for the first time after that. Knowing the inner struggle of walking on the cliff and the relief after walking off the cliff, if you still care about him (her), then after walking off the cliff, you also know that you feel guilty about her (him). That's what this movie is all about, the psychological journey of the hero and heroine in it. Beneath the simple story structure, the highlight is how the actors interpret this psychological journey.

After talking about the connotation of the film, I will talk about the three questions raised by the film: How do you view the betrayal between husband and wife in terms of morality and ethics? Secondly, can there be a harmonious balance between the trust and loyalty of husband and wife to each other and personal love? In the end, does true love between each other have to be proved by loyalty to each other? In short it's about true love, loyalty, and personal eroticism.

How to answer these three questions, I think will lead to a state of debate. The reason is that the key to answering the question is not for the matter itself, but for the person, that is, your he or she. Only by bringing these three questions into the relationship between you and him to answer, can you get a practical answer and discuss it. conclusions are meaningful. Does this video have its own answer? I think yes, in the film, the hero 'Michael' defected after struggling, and the heroine 'Joanna''s line "can't face him again" shows her attitude. In the face of this matter, men and women made different choices, which seems to be in line with the expectations of most viewers. The film mostly asks questions, but there is not much writing to answer them. That's all, this development of the story can only be said to be a reasonable need for the story itself, and it is difficult to tell how many hints there are. But the film ended with a small hint, which made me a little more pleasantly surprised in the peaceful viewing state.

The next morning, when Mike came home early with a trace of guilt in his heart, and saw Qiao Aina by the windowsill thinking, and secretly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, he seemed to have noticed the deviation somewhere in Joanna's heart. At this time, both of them felt a trace of guilt for each other deep in their hearts. When they embraced each other to comfort each other, they felt the traces of privacy in each other's heart at the same time. What was the result? Instead of suspicious eyes or loud questions, they reached a tacit understanding under the awkward eyes and squeezed smiles. The film ends at this point.

How is the ending of the film handled, is it also an answer to the above three questions? I don't think it counts. In my opinion, the film is describing life, telling a story that often happens, and raising some questions. Secondly, I think about such a temporarily calm and harmonious film, slightly below, and an open-ended suggestion should be the best way to end it.
Where's the good news? Fortunately, the film does not give its own answer.
