Of course, what I liked about this movie is not just to satisfy my lustful eyes, but more importantly, its emotional suspense and the twists and turns of the plot. The film is full of ambiguous atmosphere at the beginning. Chloe, played by Amanda, recounts the life of a recruit girl, which seems quite charming and stylish. Then the film begins to show the hypocrisy and fragility of the American middle-class family, a family that seems to have money and knowledge, the man is a well-known professor David, the woman is a well-known gynecologist Katherine, although the son has reached the age of rebellious girls , there are conflicts with being a mother, but it seems that this is a happy family. Any revelation of reality needs a seemingly ordinary tipping point. One day, the wife was going to throw a surprise birthday party for her husband who returned from a lecture, but she didn’t want her husband to not come home on time. So the wife’s suspicion of her husband broke out, and she peeped at her husband’s mobile phone. The suspicious text messages found, a hint of indifference from the husband, the unstable balance between the husband and wife was broken, and the wife was in a seemingly weak position. In the relationship between husband and wife, information asymmetry is often as unpleasant as the actual cheating relationship. Unbalanced, a large part of the unhappiness of one party finding out that the other party is cheating often comes from the loss of "I didn't know it for so long." Therefore, the wife who does not know the truth hopes to gain an information advantage, hoping to win a game, even if this information is produced by introducing wolves into the room.
In this way, Chloe entered Catherine's world. Catherine invited Chloe to seduce her husband and find out her husband's true state of mind in the love relationship. However, she received reports that disappointed her again and again, and in this situation, the paradox happened. Katherine tried to use Chloe's fishing lure to get the balance of information, but unknowingly Trapped in another information asymmetry, every time, she heard Chloe's oral report, but she didn't seem to have the slightest suspicion and did not allow Chloe to provide sufficient evidence. This should not be a screenwriter's loophole, but a reflection of Catherine's true emotions, that is, after she suspected her husband was cheating, her investigation had already pre-set the answer, that is, she thought that her husband was cheating, and she almost wanted to collect evidence. It can be said, She herself "hopes" that her husband is unfaithful, giving her the moral advantage of previous disappointments and emotional setbacks. However, her mood is contradictory, and the reality conveyed by Chloe is cruel. Under such cruel reality, her spirit in pain is undoubtedly fragile, so under the fragile state and the hint of revenge, Chloe's bit of temptation took her to a dangerous first step, and a lesbian love performance between veteran Julian Moore and rising star Amanda Seyfried is excellent, the ambiguous and disordered state of mind They are all in place, and at the same time, they also create a vague atmosphere of crisis in a seemingly warm relationship.
It's not uncommon in a relationship where you think ("hope") he's cheating, and he does. Many times, it is the mutual fighting under such suspicion that weakens the relationship between the two sides and lays the foundation for derailment, and this film shows it in a more intense way. When Katherine quarrelled with David and explained her one-night stand with the vindictive logic of "getting off the rails," she actually dragged her husband into a possible vicious circle. Next, maybe the husband will use this logic to have a one-night stand. Gradually, the one-night stand turns into an extramarital affair, an extramarital affair may be born out of nothing, and a family may be broken like this. And Chloe seems to be the "murderer" in it, but in fact it is just a catalyst and a bystander. If there is no gap within the family, how can Chloe be able to take advantage of it? The film gradually exposed the loopholes in Chloe's words, making this woman seem full of danger, but it did not make her a villain, but gave her a trace of tragedy. Chloe has an incomprehensible love and attachment to Catherine. There is not enough detail in the film, which relatively affects the final aftertaste, but Amanda interprets the intensity, madness and sadness of this love very movingly. , so that in the end her revenge and self-destruction made it difficult to feel hatred for her. What's more, I feel a little regret that a family is so easily swayed by a girl's crazy love. Such a tragedy is really amazing. Catherine's suspiciousness and strength detonated this tragedy, and David's own life. His weakness, a hint of indecisive personality and poor communication also accelerated the tragedy. In the end, as the husband mentioned, they went from having sex a few times a night to not having sex for a long time, until the estrangement reached such a point.
At the end of the film, Katherine continues her family life wearing a token left by Amanda. I have a more brutal idea for the ending, which is, at the end of the film, a detail tells us that David actually did have an affair with Chloe, thus reinforcing a touch of irony and tragedy with such a reversal, but think about it, Several people in the film are really suspicious enough to suffer, and the ending given by the director is also considered an education, so let's give a chance to start life again.
