The most breathtaking sight

I have to say that this is a movie with a better reputation than the look and feel. The procrastinating rhythm, boring dialogue, and drama-style performance almost made me fall into a river of dreams while watching it. Maybe because I haven't read the original book, I really can't like this film, but maybe I can express my feelings more intuitively.
These are two love stories, different eras, different endings, independent but related to each other.
The same underground romance that is not tolerated by ordinary people's morality, Anna resolutely escaped from the relationship that needed to be hidden, not because of the lack of light, but because she realized the hopelessness of the relationship, and she decided to leave before she fell in and out. The best account of himself to Mike and Mike's wife, but the "Sarah" that McNair blurted out shows that he is still unable to extricate himself in the play. So can it be called love between them? In fact, it's more because we study the script together and act in the opponent's play together, and it's too deep into the play.
For Charlie and Sarah, their story is unreasonable, people would like to call it love, but I don't think so. This is a man's fanatical impulse to desire, a challenge to bondage and fetters. Unexpectedly, this bottomless pit forced him to sacrifice his reputation in exchange for the final victory. The unexpected unequal contract made him embarrassed but even more It made him disgusted and relaxed, and he could finally indulge with peace of mind to win the woman he wanted. Men enjoy the process of chasing. It is undoubtedly difficult to let them give up when they are only one step away from success, and when he abandons something very important for success, he can't stand deceit and betrayal, and is unwilling to admit that he lost. Well, it wasn't until three years later when Sarah completely lowered her profile and asked for forgiveness that the man's self-esteem was freed. For Sarah, this is also an opportunity for a woman to achieve self-promotion and temptation. She is well aware of her bad reputation, but she has never forgotten her charm. Maybe she has been seeking revenge on men, and she finally The locked target is Charlie, her sad expression catalyzes the man's desire to protect, and the mysterious aura she reveals all over awakens the man's desire to conquer. Play-and-play is the way to attract the opposite sex, and Sarah knows it well, and a pitiful woman who is hurt and needs help successfully implements the temptation. I prefer to call it a chase game between men and women, an adventure game that challenges the world. Charlie was first conquered by Sarah, and three years later Sarah had to admit that she was also conquered by Charlie. After all, they are each other In the spoils of this game, this is the ending under the so-called love cloak.
If I have to say that the most unforgettable image of this film is not Meryl Streep, although she looks quite old, she was really moving, especially when Charlie met Sarah for the first time. Looking back, Charlie was shocked by the melancholy and confusion, and because of that breathtaking look, Charlie unknowingly developed a different kind of affection for her. After several encounters at Fuya, Charlie became more curious, sympathetic, and attracted to this woman. What kind of story is hidden behind such a pair of eyes, and it was Sarah's detachment and reluctance to talk that gradually captured her. his heart. This is an unusual woman, a suffocating woman, a woman who makes him suffer between ice and fire. Meryl Streep did it.
