The sexy blonde dancer attracted the lovely married male protagonist. After thinking about his lower body, he took the initiative to approach the woman to try to get the other party's attention.
And this behavior caught the attention of the woman's husband and the strange old man in the wheelchair. Not only was he not angry with the male protagonist's behavior, but he also took the initiative to invite him to his room to tell him the story of himself and this woman.
The old man's vivid love and love affair aroused the inner waves of the male protagonist, but he showed disgust on the surface.
The old man's story includes a young and youthful encounter, a passionate cohabitation life, mutual hurt that gradually leads to despair, and a marriage grave mixed with complex love and hate emotions.

Movie viewing gains:
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny
"Scumbag", "Scumbag" and "Perverted" are just generalized words, and the "rationalization" that can penetrate into the heart of the character through what events are expressed is a bridge to human nature.
When other people are expressing "I don't understand" or "playing the anti-movement with the keyboard", like Polanski, use calm eyes to observe the truth in the characters' hearts, and dig out their "desire", "fear" and "motive"
In this way, works that shock people's hearts can be born.
When everyone is looking at a crescent moon,
You saw it, and you saw it...
Addendum: Eye-catching record:
- The male protagonist was attracted by the sexy dancer, approached with "hope", but left with "disappointment". This gives the audience an appetite for "sex". For uncontrollable women, the audience will subconsciously have higher expectations for "how to conquer her".
- The appearance of the old man in wheelchair, as a woman's husband, not only did not blame the male protagonist, but bluntly told the true desire in the male protagonist's heart and invited him to tell him stories. There is a strong sense of "suspense" here, and you will be curious about what medicine is sold in the old man's gourd. Do you want to "fix" the male protagonist or "help" the male protagonist?
- In the story told by the old man, the two men and women gradually attracted the audience's expectations for "sex" from meeting, acquaintance, falling in love, and being infatuated with the flesh.
- In the story, the male protagonist is reluctant to express his true desire for women, and pretends that he is not interested in these contents. The old man's more explicit language stimulated the male protagonist and forced him to leave; and the next day he encountered an old man and a woman at dinner, the woman's leg gently swayed on his leg, and through the thinking of the lower body, he wanted to find a chance to get close to the woman again.
- The two people in the old man's story experienced the "peak of passion", "men tortured women deeply" and "women tortured men deeply", and finally reached the balance of "marriage".
- A line of "can the male protagonist reach a woman" has been hanging on the audience's appetite, coupled with the crisis setting of "a married man", until the final outcome of the male protagonist's failure to attract women, and his wife and women's upheaval caused a strong emotional turn . "A married man secretly wants to cheat on a sexy woman, but in the end it is his wife." This is a very nonsense and even funny feeling, but under Polanski's creation, it seems ironic, real, and straight to the heart.
