The intense love between Mimi and Oscar, the tedious marital relationship between Nigel and Fiona, seems to me to be a mutual torture. Maybe hurting each other is also a kind of love. Or love has turned into mutual torture in the end. In another Polanski's film "Killing", there are also two couples, two couples like Nigel and Fiona, through the conversation about the children, constantly magnifying the contradictions in life, and finally out of control.
Meeting love, sweetness, tiredness, torture, betrayal, hurt, pain, death. This is the story of Mimi and Oscar. I am reminded of a saying by Mu Xin: Strong love must turn into hatred, because otherwise it is death. (Otherwise it's because of death.)
I liked the last dance between Mimi and Fiona, in the song "salve to love", the two people danced passionately, and Fiona was completely released. Oscar said to Nigel, you should be happy, see how happy they are! When you see your loved one happy, you should be happy. So, you have to be happy too, and if you're not, I'll give you a shot! Like Oscar to Mimi.
"We were just too greedy, baby. That was all." After saying this to himself and the dead Mimi, Oscar shot himself.
I am too greedy.
