The first half of "Infidelity" tells a seemingly ordinary story in real life. A housewife who has been married for many years and is still charming, accidentally meets a young bookseller and develops an exciting extramarital relationship. Presumably middle-aged marriages are also lackluster, so the appearance of the lover makes the housewife glow with new brilliance of life. She bought new underwear, put on new high-heeled shoes, dressed up on every date, and appeared in front of her lover with a lot of style. Because it was an unethical underground romance, they spent most of their tryst hiding at the bookseller's house and went to the clouds together. The first time she was lying on her lover's bed, she repeatedly restrained herself, but in the end desire triumphed over reason. The shackles of morality were broken, the floodgates of desire were dropped, and lust devoured her like a flood of beasts. The housewife sank into this, unable to extricate herself. She skillfully negotiates between her lover and her husband, seemingly like a duck to water, not only maintaining the stability of the family, but also adjusting the boring life. But the emotional balance gradually tilted in favor of her lover, and she began to resist her husband. One night, when she was soaking in the bathtub, she noticed the mark made by her lover with a marker on her waist. She quickly washed it away, for fear of being discovered by her husband. Just then, her husband came over, took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub to play with her in the water, but she showed strong resistance and jumped out of the bathtub on the pretext that the water was too cold. She can spend time with her lover in the toilet of a cramped coffee shop, but she doesn't want to be intimate with her husband in the bathtub. Her body and emotions are finally united, and women are still unable to separate sex and love.
The second half of "Infidelity" allows us to see a more complex human nature. Her husband is a typical American middle-class elite. Most of his thoughts are on his career and he is responsible for his family. He has a well-rounded personality. He is not as young and handsome as his lover, and he is not as romantic and bold as him. Her husband really loved her, and he noticed his wife's derailment from the clues. He secretly found a private detective to investigate. In the face of overwhelming evidence, he could no longer remain calm. The dialogue between husband and lover is a classic. We see a rational middle-aged man breaking down step by step in the face of the fact that his wife is unfaithful. The more details he understands, the more painful his heart is. The crystal ball he gave to his wife was easily passed on to his lover by his wife. He finally got out of his anger and smashed the crystal ball at the third person in his marriage. The young bookseller fell into a pool of blood and became the sacrifice of this extramarital affair, and the original peach incident turned into a murder. At the end of the movie, the couple parked the car at the gate of the police station. The two discussed whether to surrender or flee. The wife was sobbing and the husband was helpless.
The story of cheating in marriage ended in tragedy. The movie seems to be telling the audience a truth, cheating will not end well, and being a third party may lead to death. Spectators always like to evaluate "derailment" incidents from the moral commanding heights. There must be overwhelming condemnation under each exposed incestuous relationship. The vicious words seem to represent the position of justice. The derailed person and his All of the juniors were beaten to death by a single shot. Even if they were not punished by law, they became the target of public criticism. Since then, they have been labeled as contrary to public order and good customs, and they will not be able to take them off for a lifetime. In recent years, the divorce rate in our country has remained high. I don’t know how much is due to the involvement of a third party. I have not seen public data on the investigation of extramarital affairs, but presumably the probability of extramarital affairs occurs in Europe, America, Asia, or my country. are very high. We have all experienced love, and we all know that love is fleeting and difficult to last. If love is romantic passionate love, it is almost impossible to maintain love in a long-term marriage. I heard that Foucault and his homosexuals have always maintained passionate love in their 20-year love life, but the food and drink men and women in secular marriages are likely to be unable to maintain their passion for 20 years, and they will have children. Raising a daughter, raising a family, dealing with complicated family relationships, and running around for a living, who is middle-aged and whose life is not a piece of shit, and who still has the heart to work hard to maintain love? How many people called each other baby before marriage, and became teammates after marriage, and this is still a good situation, at least they didn't look cold to each other and turned against each other.
I have seen a discussion of the social function of marriage in a book. One is to maintain the stability of social groups, regulate sexual behavior, and reduce conflicts caused by sexual reasons. The second is to provide suitable conditions for the reproduction of offspring, including social and economic conditions. Compared with other primates, the infancy of human beings is longer, and the form of marriage is conducive to the joint raising of children by both men and women. The third is to enhance the union between different groups. In a class society, marriage is an important means to close the relationship between families, nations and even countries. None of the above reasons have anything to do with love, and marriage was not originally set up for love. In this way, it makes sense that men and women in marriage have no love, and it also makes sense for married men and women to pursue extramarital love.
One thing that almost all couples who have been married for many years will say is that we have become like family. Although love has passed away, the relationship between husband and wife will naturally become deep because of the long-term relationship, having children, and having common assets and social relations, but in this deep relationship, the heartbeat is almost gone. live. In addition to having a stable family, maintaining an extra-marital lover to maintain "heartbeat", to adjust the boring life, although it is against morality, it follows human nature.
Loyalty in marriage is not maintained by human nature. The morals, laws and even religion in this world are designed to restrain human nature, and the matter of "disloyalty" follows human nature. Human nature is so complex and fickle, it can be seen in the family alone, a good mother may not be a loyal wife, a filial son may not be a considerate husband... Good and evil coexist in the same person, it is Real rich humanity. The human nature portrayed in "Infidelity" is so real. I can't feel any disgust for the heroine, and I even feel sorry for her sincerity to her lover. I don't want to criticize her from the moral high ground. People who are in marriage live a dull life day after day, who can really do it from the beginning to the end?
