Unlike "Lies and Lies", which was getting better and better in the past few years, this "The Undoing" can be said to have laid out suspense, lust, and family ethics from the very beginning. If the theme is also female, I think "Inaction" is indeed better. In addition to the tighter rhythm and the more suspenseful story, the protagonists are shocked by their acting skills, and the details are also a lot of bonus points.
In recent years, the hot gathering of female subjects and movies flooded the market, discarding politically correct and indiscriminate commercial films. The leading heroines ranged from "The Good Wife" and "The Handmaid's Story" many years ago to "The Abandoned Soldier of the Rear Wing". Basically it is about the transformation of women after being honed by life. Moved to move, but the routine is no longer new. From another perspective, if the protagonist is replaced by a black person, homosexuals and other groups that have been marginalized or disadvantaged can write good stories, nothing more than salvation and self-salvation. The difference of "Inaction" is that it really expresses everything she has experienced from the heart of a person, a woman, or even a woman you think is glamorous, this kind of confusion, helplessness, and even despair.
Yes, despair, this strong sense of suffocation is not available in the companion article "Lie and Big Lies". The same starring Nicole, and the same innocent temperament like a white rabbit, "Lies" focuses on friendship and the warmth of family. Generally speaking, it is an upward story. Betrayal, alienation and violence are all supporting roles. Let you hold a glimmer of hope: can I find this person in the vast sea of people, there are two people and three dishes in four seasons, the children are smart and lively, and the elderly are tolerant and loving. Look, even in the face of any storm in life, there are people who accompany me to fight side by side.
This is the colorful bubbles that images and words in life can give you, just like a long chicken soup with light and shadow for the soul.
What about in reality? The old money living in the Upper East Side is just like you imagined. Your husband is talented and handsome, he is still a humorous man, his son is smart and mature, and his father is rich and considerate. In the circle of friends, you feel that everyone is looking at admiring the envy of the winners in life. It is not very sudden. When a somewhat shabby woman breaks into your world, what is the problem with the exclusion of the rich ladies? What is it? Oh, by the way, she has a proud figure, she is young, beautiful and full of vitality. She did not shy away from showing her body in public. At this time, do you feel a little insecure? You don't seem to have so much. Even though he was disappointed, her husband disappeared under the pretext of working. I believe that many women, especially women after marriage, will be frightened by this, smelling a trace of betrayal, but there is no way to be sure, and then unable to sleep all night. Like a drowning man, when he was almost unable to breathe, the police came to the door and told you that the woman you seemed to embarrass you was killed by your husband. She was still murdered.
In this way, life collapsed with a bang.
Along with this collapse, there are rustling stones rolling down. A good friend tells you that your husband has asked me to be his lawyer. He has been entangled with his mistress for many years; my husband’s colleagues tell you , He was fired a long time ago, his high profile with his mistress made the boss intolerable; Dad tells you, your husband came to me to borrow money, no more, no less, 500,000; you know, he has an illegitimate child Girl, he moved the money in your shared account. He was fascinating and deceiving people. Everyone, everyone, saw it, but you, as a psychologist, couldn’t.
I can't see it, and it's hopeless. This is an endless loop. If you deny him, you deny yourself, deny everything that you have operated over the years, and admit that you have no eyes. So I can only hypnotize myself, seize the bail bail and the privilege of white men.
Angrily denounced ten million dollars to the whole world that he was innocent, so that his son and himself could face the crisis through this crisis.
I really think that Nicole's trust in her husband, face and love are very good. If it weren't for Nicole's monologue when the two were walking in the fourth episode, I would rather believe that she wanted to survive in the Upper East Side. I remember the most profound and moving scenes of this drama. The most mixed one is this one. It is still two people walking side by side, chatting and laughing, but when he wants to hold your hand, You broke free. You understand that he wants to redeem. He is so charming. He is the perfect doctor in your heart. He is kind, humorous, and the warmest husband and father. You can tell him what he is good about. You can say one day and one night, but Who is this person in front of me? Stripped off the layers of disguise, what kind of person is he? Will I still love him? You ask yourself, but you are already riding a tiger, he cried and said, "Hey, it's me"
Who can stay still at this time? But you can only choose one way, you tell him: I believe you, you are not a murderer. But you will never be my husband again.
The only trace of reason did not waver when he was emotional.
On the other hand, Hugh Grant, my husband, is a very charming person. He has taken the role of a good father, a good husband, and a good doctor. For a few moments, I really want to believe him. But the director cleverly used a few shots to show us the opposite of him. When something happened, one thing was to escape, and he didn't know how to escape, and then once again used the trust of others in his good guy to reappear. Although not a psychiatrist, I can also speculate on his psychology: For people I want to get, use, and help, I must pretend to be hypocritical; for colleagues, passers-by, etc., let them Just envy me; as for the ruins in prison, I certainly can't suffer. So I feel that if the most essential aspect is exposed, no matter who the murderer is, Hugh must be a person who is good at disguising, tells lies, and tends to be violent. From the fact that he put all the blame on his mistress after the accident, it can be seen that he has no nostalgia for this matter. When the master of lie appeared at his mistress's house in the fourth episode, seeing her photos didn't show any sadness, but he was able to cry bitterly on TV to show that he had lost his true love. If you have to reason from the suspense movie, then I still believe that Hugh is the murderer and smashed the face of the deceased. This behavior is the same as the prison biting someone’s ear, and the timing is also very coincidental. It happened when the mistress wanted to threaten. Wife time. His wishful thinking should be to use his position and the trust of others to give him sympathy, after all, the evidence in the whole case was insufficient. I want a prodigal son to turn around at last, oh forgot to say, this master of lie can fool his wife to find two lovers, which shows the depth of the city. Therefore, visually observing the appearance of a mistress behind him should also be an important part of seeing his details.
Another scene in this drama that particularly touched me was Nicole playing chess with my dad, saying that the marriage she longed for was the marriage of dad and mom, so the love was added, and I still remember the jewels and gifts my dad gave to my mom. At this time, the old father decisively interrupted his daughter: Your mother is not happy at all! Because I have been cheating, those jewels are gifts that I give to your mother as compensation every time I cheat, so she never wears them.
Hey, after so much, the last colorful bubble was also punctured without mercy.
What fascinates me most about this drama is its reality. It is possible to make the same decision as the character in any period of time when it is brought into any character. Can you control the temptation? Can you not run away in the face of a murder case? Can the husband who is facing the same bed not help him? Can I not wake her up when I face my obsessive daughter? I can only say, I can't. At least in many cases, I can understand the choices made by the characters. As for what puts life in this situation, I think it is still a mask of layers. When the friends, husbands, and even parents who appear next to you are colored bubbles in the cloak of hypocrisy, what is left when you burst this layer of bubbles? Is it a cloud of nothingness or a stranger?
There is also a very interesting setting, that is, the husband of the mistress Elena, they are the opposite of the celebrities of the Upper East Side in terms of status and emotion. They are more real. From revealing her body to asking for money, she is a murderous posture, but she does not know that God has already put a price on her body. In the palm of the stock. On the other side, her husband is also a representative of the lower class, so he can do it regardless of the consequences. But he is very real, even if he knows his wife's illegitimate daughter, he does his best to take care of it. Nicole slammed the door when she learned that her father had cheated her for half of her life, and said: Do you think I am so vulnerable? In fact, both men and women may encounter betrayal and Waterloo in their lives. The difference is that the role of women in the eyes of others may be even more pathetic.
Things in the world are often very predictable, and it is people who are unpredictable. One person has a thousand faces, family affection, friendship, and love are often gorgeous rhetoric, and their essence is the determination of good and evil of human nature. Who knows whether the person around me is a human or a ghost? So, while in love, still wear armor.
