The uncontrollable desires and fears of "Rivals". Duty teachers, bohemian actors, seemingly unrelated, they have exactly the same faces. What impact will a so-called meeting have on his life? The first feeling after watching the film was that the film seemed to be too short. The director spent a full 50 minutes setting up their respective status quo, and the whole film was only 91 minutes in total. The plot after the meeting can be unfolded to a greater extent, fully expressing the kind of interconnection, common demise, and rebirth. The director used the spider symbol several times throughout the film. I personally understand that this is a symbol of the male protagonist's inner desires and fears. On the one hand, he longs for the excitement of extramarital affairs, on the other hand, he is afraid of another self. Jack Gyllenhaal's performance is also considered to add to the film a lot. 5 points. ps: I still like the handling of the ending scene!
