Chris and Charlyn

I've seen "Stealing the Wire" twice, and wrote about Chris and Charlyn twice.

The first time I said, what impressed me the most was the meeting between Chris and his wife. I thought this woman would betray him because she said fiercely that she didn't love him, she hated him. Even though Chris loved her so much, saying that without her, it was like the sky without the sun, even if he risked the danger just to see her, she agreed to cooperate with the police in the lover's house full of police.
She was standing on the balcony, and the police lurked behind the window. Chris got out of the car and looked at her with a smile. She stared at him blankly, and then swiped lightly to the right with the hand holding the railing.
Chris left. She went back to the house, leaned on the sofa and said,
"That's not Chris."
On the car window, Chris's face was half buried in the lights of New York.
The lights in New York all night make people unable to see their expressions.
This is the last time they met before the end of the movie. Nothing is known since then. Whether they are together, whether she loves him or not is no longer important. This is just a kidnapper who loves his wife and the kidnapper's wife.

Later I wrote that Charlyn was probably smiling at that time. I guess she saw the reappearance of time at that time, and I am almost convinced that she saw her youth. Young Chris stood downstairs and smiled at her. She used to be desperate for that smile, but in a blink of an eye she was relatively speechless in the blurry night.

It turned out that I saw different things twice.

    Some stories are more interesting than they seem, and some themes can only be truly accepted by the audience in the five movies during the climax. And as someone who is standing at the end and watching the complete process, stealing the line of fire is really not so cold, maybe novels with the same subject matter can be more exciting
