fate and luck

"Match Point" how a poor boy in tennis got into the upper class, extramarital affairs, future, desires, contradictions, the darkness of people's hearts and one's luck, etc. Chris started with the interviewer's sentence "The members of our tennis club are all high-class people", and officially entered the process of reshaping his life. He got acquainted with Chloe, a wealthy woman with a gentle, virtuous and artistic temperament in the upper class of London. In the second half of the game, he gave up the ball on the spot and went into business, followed by weddings, mansions, RVs, and status. Chris completed the process of a man who needs 20 years to shape himself under the right time and place, and entered the upper class logically. Of course, if he stopped here and started to live a life of worry-free clothing and food, and slowly grew old, the film would be too unwatchable. The development of modern civilized society has stimulated people's fighting spirit, and at the same time, it has also stimulated the desire and greed in our hearts. Men and women, all living beings, no one does not like freshness and excitement, no one wants to wait for death in a static world, so lust, material desire, power and status are derived. Nora, the ex-fiancee of brother Chloe, is beautiful, sexy, and has a personality. After Jinghong glanced at it, the two people from similar backgrounds understood the desire in each other's eyes. Nora's shadow has taken root in Chris's heart, and it is like a first love that makes people miss and linger. If it was said that when the two were related, there were still scruples, then after Nora was dumped, the two met again, turning the whole story around. This reunion is doomed to Nora's tragedy, and it is also doomed to Chris's life in darkness. Nora and Chris raced against the clock to enjoy the burning of eroticism, however, no matter how boiling the torrent, there will be moments when it cools down. Disagreement arises after love disappears, just like thousands of extramarital affairs stories, either pretending to be crazy and foolish to warm each other, or exposing the situation in advance or pretending to be unfortunate, or one party retreats rationally and is alone. In short, no man with power and wealth will break through because of the adjustment of extramarital passion. Once the trade-offs in real life are weighed, the once beautiful things will become ugly, even disgusting, and even evil will arise from the courage, and the desire to kill will arise. The fetus in Nora's womb has become her means of threatening Chris. Those beautiful encounters and lingerings are suddenly dull, the once personality has become hysterical, the glamorous has become tacky, and the cute has become hateful. So Chris staged a premeditated murder, stealing his old father-in-law's shotgun, first shooting the old landlady and creating a scene of drug addicts burglary, and then hiding at the elevator exit, with the final call of "Noah" Pull," Nora fell under his gun. When we all held our breaths in anticipation and feared to reveal the truth, that parabola became the final point of the final fate of Chris. The ring, which was taken from the old lady's hand and had not yet been destroyed, was thrown on the shore by Chris. The thrown ring echoes the shot of the tennis ball brushing past the line at the beginning of the film. And the voice-over at the beginning of the game directly points to the question: the change of fate is similar to the rubbing of the tennis ball in a tennis game, and everything depends on accidental luck. The ring was picked up by a real junkie who was accidentally killed in the same area, the ring found in his pocket was Chris' bet and luck that he could continue life in disguise. The two cops with a great sense of humor finally closed the case by saying that he was nothing more than a scumbag who was carrying his wife outside and engaged in women. The plot came to the dark and windy night of a month, and Chris continued to sell his soul and live a rich life. From the initial fear of killing people to the continuous suppression of the buried life. Nora came to file a complaint with her future child and the grievances of the landlord's old lady. There was no harsh reprimand, only a quiet announcement of his sins. He talked about the reason why he had to do it. When the old lady of the landlord asked, was the child too? Chris's facial expression was a little distorted, and his eyes were full of tears when he said something else that impressed me deeply. He said, "Sophiecles said that it is perhaps the greatest blessing not to be born." This sentence made me fall into a kind of long-term slump. It looks like a word of relief, but in fact, it is more like a curse, which is tightly bound to them, like Chris, who has escaped the punishment of real life, but cannot escape the self-judgment of the soul. Fate is fair to everyone, but under Woody's handwriting, we have no way to envy Chris's luck, nor to viciously curse his selfishness. In our bones, who knows if it will be hidden? A devil deeper than him. Justice would exist if the devil never appeared in the world. The plot came to the dark and windy night of a month, and Chris continued to sell his soul and live a rich life.
