This isn't a movie review, it's an afterthought
An infidelity.
This movie seems to be criticizing the female protagonist at the end, because at the end the male protagonist said in a monologue that he met the female protagonist at the airport many years later, but the female protagonist did not see him. The heroine is holding a child, no different from ordinary women. And we can see that the male protagonist's personal world has completely collapsed, and he has not yet gotten out of that tragic extramarital affair.
Of course, I believe that feminism is going to start scolding here again. Why is the director criticizing the heroine, isn't it wrong for a man? I think it's safe to be impatient here. If there is something wrong, both of them are wrong. However, in this movie, more "wrong" elements are given to the heroine.
For example: the heroine's mother is very powerful, and through a meal, she can see that her daughter has an affair with the future father-in-law. But she didn't have anything, she just told the male protagonist privately and persuaded him to quit quickly. The male lead actually did the same in the end. Although he couldn't help but call once, but was picked up by his son. The heroine knew whether the hero was holding back. She did one thing at this time, that is, she bought a loft, gave the key to the hero, and told the hero to come here at a fixed time every week.
The heroine herself also said that if it wasn't for the male lead, she would never have married the male lead's son. To put it simply, she herself likes to maintain this kind of relationship. Even after marrying the male protagonist's son, she still has to maintain this secret relationship with her father-in-law. To put it simply, she is the leader of this relationship. And the male protagonist has already lost himself under the impetus of desire.
Of course, I still have to say that the director did not want to exonerate the male protagonist (or the man) by making the film like this. After all, this movie is still mainstream in terms of values, giving the extramarital affair a very tragic ending. This is a movie from 1992. At that time, such an infidelity should still stimulate the audience's values. Beast father, cold-blooded woman (isn't she cold-blooded? She didn't consider the feelings of the male protagonist's son at all. After the son died, she did cry, but after waiting for a while, she put on her clothes and left relatively calmly) All are critics of this film.
In the relationship between two people, there is no equal division of power. There must be a leader and a submissive. To put it vulgarly, it is Zhou Yu's attack on Huang Gai. Personally, I don't really believe that there will be a fully equal relationship between men and women.
If the leader of the relationship is wrong, the train of two people is estimated to be derailed.
