In fact, the film is still following the old path of Hitchcock - suspense + ethics. It's just that the writers are a bit ruthless! This point has to be understood after watching the whole play and then pondering the title of the film. Butterfly on a Wheel - Wiki for a moment, and the meaning is as follows: The line is usually interpreted as questioning why someone would put massive effort into achieving something minor or unimportant. In Chinese, it means "big problem"! It is a bit exaggerated that a Desperate housewife (Desperate Housewife) can set up such a precise game in order to save her man's heart and play the heroine herself. But it can also be seen from the screenwriter's good intentions that in order to torture the current common marital problems, he does not hesitate to push the whole story to the extreme, so that the audience can face the dripping blood and face the bleak life.
In addition, the entire film uses dark tones, and the only light often comes from the shining wedding rings on the ring fingers of the protagonists. Presumably these four rings must have witnessed a lot of warm scenes, but at the same time, they have also experienced a dangerous moment in marriage with the audience. From beginning to end, they were all there struggling to shine, bringing a little light to the gray and bleak marriage, and maybe when the play was over, they should also be taken down.
I believe that every female audience in this film has experienced three stages of attitude towards the hero Neil: in the first half, Neil is simply an ideal husband, he has a successful career and attaches great importance to his family, especially his courage in times of crisis. Man! Later, when I saw the adultery between Neil and Tom's wife surfaced, a feeling of gnashing of teeth emerged spontaneously - it turned out to be self-inflicted, and deserved it! He even dragged his wife and children into it, and he was punished with thousands of knives! In the end, when Neil's wife confessed everything, the women who were just right just now became short of breath. They didn't feel pity or hate for Neil, but it was in this feeling like being choked, the whole film came to an abrupt end. And stop, leaving all the women in the air!
I believe that every woman who watched this film couldn't help but ask herself: If my man was like that, would I treat him like this? The standard answer is - girls, if you can find a Hollywood screenwriter as an accomplice, and 007 as an accomplice, let go of him! Because I really hate it!
