Is the subtext a man worth believing?

Interpretation of modern marriage, this is a very wonderful film.

The film depicts the representatives of two typical men... One gets married early and obeys husband's morals, but his heart is full of the temptation to "sex". A carefree, uninhibited, and a stable girlfriend, but do not want to get married, want to live an independent and self-made life.

The film portrays bright actress Rebecca (Julianne Moore) husband Tom (David Duchovny) as sexually horny and horny, which I think is an exaggeration of reality, and any man would love to " "Sex" is a bit of an evil fire, "Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger" maybe not just for women, men or more appropriate? After marriage, sex is not so full of emotions. Loss is the reason for frequent extramarital affairs. Of course, sex is not the most important element in life, so David Duchovny doesn't want to cheat. Although he has an extramarital affair for a short time, it is still rational. I want to get back on track with my life.

Julianne Moore's slacker brother Toby (Billy Crudup) and novelist girlfriend Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal) have been dating for eight years, but have no intention of getting married and starting a family. Meaning, this made the woman very disappointed. When she found out that Toby had an ambiguous relationship with her coquettish and charming ex-girlfriend, Elaine chose to leave.

Whether a man is trustworthy or not is a question that every woman in love or marriage will think about.

The film does not say the answer, men and women are on the verge of deviance, the film is just telling everyone that living in this society, everyone will have all kinds of temptations every day, so the relationship between men and women will swing on the scale, and feelings will change from time to time. Alienation and indifference, and sometimes reunited.

The first half of the film is quite brilliant. It can be seen that the screenwriter's experience of life is meticulous, but in the second half of the film, there is a big cliché, which may be out of the understanding of "men?" In sympathy, Only from the point of view of the film, I don't mean to degrade the two male protagonists, but it is too difficult to define a good man and a bad man. We should give a little time and a little space for the two to experience trust. Trust is marriage. A solid foundation...and having an affair is just one factor that affects trust. Trust is not just a simple thought. Trust is often mixed with psychological judgments generated by specific behaviors. Therefore, trust requires the joint efforts of two people.

Finally, I have to make fun of it. Rebecca in the film began to actively cooperate with her husband's sex life after she had an affair with her husband, so their sex life began to be more complete than expected, huh, funny? I am really skeptical.
