Confused love under the deep blue sea

In the 1950s, the story opened with a blue background and the narration of a suicide note. Then, in the dim light of the broken wall, the heroine Hester appeared in front of a glass window, lazy, messy, depressed...!
The story is simple: Hester's marriage to her husband, William, was materialistic and spiritually empty. Her husband was a meticulous, well-behaved lawyer who lived a lifeless, lifeless life. She meets Freddie, a retired pilot, and faces the energetic and enthusiastic Freddie, who is desperate to fly to the flames. However, it was only after the passion found out that Freddie couldn't give her the safety and protection she wanted. A woman can't find love in a stable marriage, and can't find security in a charming love, so she struggles, longs, and finally tries to commit suicide in despair. Even so, when Freddie saw her suicide note, he felt unreasonable and decided to leave her.
Facing a considerate and meticulous but rigid and conservative husband, Hester lives reluctantly and pale, and facing a young passionate but free-spirited lover, she loves humble and fragile. The story alternates between memory and reality. The low and melodious music and the dark and deserted scenes give Hester a good psychological foil. Her feelings are like a deep blue ocean, with turbulent undercurrents and deep confusion.
Women, when love and marriage cannot be both, no matter how you choose, first of all, don't lose yourself.
I'm glad I didn't make such a choice, and I hope you do too.

The Deep Blue Sea quotes

  • Hester Collyer: Lust isn't the whole of life, but Freddie is, you see, for me. The whole of life. And death. So, put a label on that, if you can.

  • Mrs. Elton: A lot of rubbish is talked about love. You know what real love is? It's wiping someone's arse or changing the sheets when they've wet themselves. And letting them keep their dignity so you can both go on.
