Synopsis
Ethan (Mark Duplass) and Sophie (Elisabeth Moss) have been married for many years, and they have lost their former passion for each other, and Ethan's infidelity makes their relationship even worse.
In order to save their marriage, at Ethan's suggestion, the two decided to consult a love expert.
Love experts introduce a place for them to go on vacation, and tell them that couples who come back from there can be refreshed and reconciled.
The two drove there, and when they arrived, they found that the place was beautiful and uninhabited, and it looked like a holy place for recuperation.
Today, it is indeed a luxurious dream to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a moment of tranquility. The two dine, chat, and smoke marijuana, and the relationship seems to be warming.
After dinner, Ethan packed up the dishes, Sophie wanted to go out for a walk, and went to the single-family room not far away.
After entering, she found that there was movement inside. Sophie saw that it turned out to be Ethan, but there was a difference, he was not wearing glasses.
Sophie didn't think much, and greeted Ethan, wanting to ask him why he came here so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Ethan's words became very gentle. Sophie hadn't felt this way for a long time, so the two of them did shameful things in the dim light.
After the incident, they played small games. Usually, Ethan thought these games were too naive, but she didn't expect to play with her today. Sophie was very happy.
Ethan proposed to rest in the guest room at night. Sophie agreed without thinking. She was going to go to the house to get some clothes. After returning to the house, Sophie was surprised to find that Ethan was sleeping on the sofa.
She was very strange and didn't know why Ethan would make such a joke, it was not funny at all, she woke Ethan and asked him what was going on.
Sophie couldn't accept what Ethan said next. He couldn't remember what had just happened, claiming that he fell asleep on the sofa without seeing her after dinner.
Sophie was so angry that she felt that Ethan was really sick and ruined such a good atmosphere. She was disappointed and went back upstairs to sleep.
Ethan was confused. He thought he had done nothing. Not knowing why Sophie said that, he decided to go to the guest room.
After arriving in the guest room, Ethan saw that there were wine glasses of fruit on the table, as if someone had really stayed here. Ethan suspected that he was stupid for smoking marijuana and lost his memory.
In a daze, Ethan fell asleep, and he felt that Sophie was there. It was not until the next morning that Ethan woke up and saw Sophie was making breakfast.
He felt that Sophie had an indescribable charm and a different feeling, and he was even more shocked to see that there was bacon for breakfast.
He has never eaten bacon since he married Sophie, because Sophie didn't like it and never made it, but made it for him today.
Ethan seems to have noticed something, are there two Sophies? He decided to go back to the house to verify his thoughts. After returning, he saw Sophie as well, which meant that Sophie in the guest room was fake.
Ethan took Sophie to the guest room and tried to explain the matter to her, but after the two went in, they couldn't find the fake Ethan and Sophie.
Ethan analyzed that it might take one person to go in to see the other one. He asked Sophie to wait outside and entered the guest room by himself.
After entering, Ethan finally found the fake Sophie. She was taking a shower and asked him to hand him a towel as if she was okay. He hurriedly went out to tell Sophie about it and let her go in and see for herself.
When Sophie walked into the guest room alone, she was stunned by what she saw...
Video Analysis
The film is cleverly conceived and uses a sci-fi suspense coat to package a story about marriage and love. Although the director sacrificed some narrative rigor for the development of the plot, the flaws do not hide the flaws. This is still a low-cost masterpiece worth watching.
It is also a low-cost production. The story framework of the film is a bit like "The Night When the Comet Came", but the content is completely different. The logic of the story is obviously better and more rigorous, but in terms of topicality, the film may be More abundant, because marriage and love have never been a conclusion, everyone has their own understanding and yearning.
The end of the film is open-ended, which caused quite a bit of controversy. I think, maybe the reality is so cruel, how many people can achieve what they want?
There are only two main actors in the film, the scenes are even more pitiful, and the cost is quite low, but this one and a half hour is not boring at all. This kind of script is a test of the actors' acting skills and rhythm control. These two points are presented very well. It's all good.
The male protagonist in the film is a rational but insecure man. His fault is cheating, but what is certain is that he still loves the female protagonist and hopes to repair the marriage relationship. The heroine is a woman who likes to try new things and pays attention to experience and feelings. She may not be wrong, but her pure character is doomed to failure and injury in her marriage, so the director arranged for her to live in her own fantasy at the end of the film. , to complete the practice necessary for a marriage.
Although the film is over, the story is not over. The heroine will lose her innocence and childishness one day, and become smart, mature, and rational, just like her back to reality.
Only those who can stand the baptism of marriage will have future mutual support.
