UPDATE: Three stars out of liking Keira Knightley, at most two and a half stars for the film itself.

He went to the cinema with Zhou Yanei holding popcorn, talking plum and cola, and sat down. The film begins to tell the story. The heroine's opening sentence: "a bottle of wine" made me immediately recognize her as Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice, and the British English without a reflex is beyond recognizable.
OK, I digress. The movie itself doesn't have any bright spots, just marriage, love, temptation, loyalty and these clichés. Fifty minutes later, when the heroine on a business trip in Philadelphia and his ambiguous female colleague were still in the swimming pool inquiring about each other's marriage life, Zhou Yanei couldn't take it anymore and roared in a low voice: "Is it annoying? , if you want to do it, just do it." The rhythm of the movie is a bit slow, giving people the feeling that there is no G-spot from beginning to end, lacking the necessary contradictions and conflicts in the storyline to let the audience into the play. In my mind, the only films that do not need intense contradictions and clear story lines are those niche literary films. And niche literary films are good at philosophical narration, which is not found in "Love One Night", so the whole film has become a nondescript romance, and it is very bland.
So, leaving aside the technicalities of the movie, let's talk about the story itself.
Halfway through the story, I thought of a fairy tale that Lian Yue once quoted in his book, saying: "The husband sat up while his wife was asleep, spit his lover out of his mouth, and made out to her. After a while, he continued to lie down and sleep. However, when he fell asleep, his wife also sat up, spit out his lover from his mouth, and played with it. So life has been peaceful." Marriage is a very paradoxical proposition. , some associations from "One Night Love" are described as follows:

Keywords: Loyalty
Philip Lowe said: Most people don't understand the meaning of loyalty when they put their hands on the Bible, and they won't understand what it really means until seven or eight years after marriage, or more. Those sweet couples who were waiting in line at the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married, they all entered the city of marriage with the confidence and courage to grow old together. The heroine in "One Night's Love" rages and rages over her husband's affair with a female colleague. But on the second day of her husband's trip to Philadelphia, she spent a night of silence, grace and emotion with her old lover in a hotel outside. And even though the husband had sworn with his wife the day before that he would not have any relationship with the female colleague, he still couldn't stand the temptation of the female colleague and spent a night of physical entanglement with him.
The most invincible thing for a man is always his own thoughts. Although the walls of the besieged city were engraved with such huge words as morality and responsibility, they could not comfort a pair of mandarin ducks to stay together. Aesthetic fatigue, the strings of love are slack and tired, when love and passion encounter the daily reality of survival, emotional integrity and romance will also be dissipated by time. In the face of fresh desires, morality always seems weak, fresh flesh, seductive seduction, and turbulent autumn waves, which can always tear words such as "loyalty" to shreds.
Such an unreliable marriage, and the "loyalty" that is so easily abandoned, how can we bear it. Is there no effective way to maintain such a volatile marriage? Lian Yue said in his column: "What is the maintenance of marriage? There are temptations everywhere, and there is no strong restraint law to maintain marriage, then, only rely on self-reflection and self-discipline------------ Knowing that marriage means letting go of some of your freedom, so things are less likely to happen."
This is exactly what I've always thought. Loyalty, growing old together, eternity... These things that seem to be difficult to achieve, just like belief, if you believe, it will be there. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. It's very simple, if you believe it, you will be in awe and work hard to maintain it. If you don't believe it, you will act recklessly. As long as you want, you can say goodbye to words like marriage, responsibility, etc., and no one can stop you.

Keywords: red roses and white roses
Eileen Chang's shocking description can be used in any relationship and in any marriage. "In a man's life, there must be two women, one is a red rose and the other is a white rose. The red one is warm and the white one is elegant. Marrying a red rose, over time, the red one becomes a smear of mosquito blood on the mosquito net, and the The white one is still the bright moonlight in front of the bed; after marrying a white rose, over time, the white one becomes a stick of rice on the clothes, while the red one becomes a cinnabar mole in the heart." The woman in "One Night Love" The protagonist has a warm night with an old lover, and it has nothing to do with sex. The next day, the heroine stood on the street corner with the dog, her eyes blurred as she watched the old lover go away. Who can understand such a feeling. Loving but not staying together for a long time, that is a sad past that cannot be told, but still affectionate after being separated, it is a heartfelt song that wants to talk and leave. People's memory has the function of whitewashing the past, because if it is not obtained, the memory of the past is particularly beautiful. In that era, that period of time, the unfinished emotion, the unfinished love, the Buddha was used to make people feel nostalgic and sentimental. All unforgettable emotions are tragic and kind. The men and women who rushed into the besieged city in a hurry found that the city was not peaceful and stable in the world, but only the tiredness of the fading passion, the cumbersome relationship of the previous generation, the need to calculate the firewood, rice, oil and salt, the education of children, and the need to repay the mortgage and car loan. Life is no longer about chess, poetry, painting, tea and hops. The two are together just to maintain a habit, life has no emotions, and marriage has also been transferred to the soul. As a result, each couple began to need a "red face" or "blue face" to comfort their souls out of the body. If you can't find these red and blue faces, you can only recall some beautiful things that were not obtained. It might be the gentle bowing of his first love girlfriend, or it might be the graceful boy who recited poetry when he was young. Can the heroine in "One Night Love" really love her old lover more than her love for her husband? not necessarily. It may not be love in my opinion. If this pair of lovers really walk from the turbulence of thought to real life, it is very likely that they will show cruel tricks.

Key words: where will the deviance go
In this film, whether the male protagonist's physical infidelity or the female protagonist's spiritual infidelity, they all get back on track and continue to start their lives. Drilling out of the gaps in the family, the air of the affair is fresh, but thin. After all, people who cheat are involved in the courage of their families, and there must be a subtle feeling of resistance in their hearts. After the ambiguity, I still have to run back to the place. Deviance is often a rippling arc drawn outside the right track, and eventually returns to the original path, and that part of the departure can be heartbreaking at first, and gradually becomes a delicate, light-hearted light over time. scar.
Marriage is all the same. Marriage is marriage. Marriage is not a metaphor, not a symbol, divergence, association, metaphor... It is difficult to manage a marriage well.
We need temptation, but if we don't want to walk around the glass-filled walls and end up falling inside the besieged city or falling outside the besieged city, we're going to smash ourselves to pieces. Then, it is better to keep those feelings in your heart, just think about it, these unsatisfied fates will become disgusting or lackluster after taking off their gorgeous robes in marriage, and there will be no courage to destroy the current life.
Yesterday, I quarreled with Zhou Yanei about this issue until two in the morning. His point is that any cheating is hard to forgive. My opinion is, what if you don't forgive, are you going to torture your own mind until you die? Difficult to forgive, nothing more than divorce or break up, can you think of a third way? If you cheat, but you still love this family, you still love me, and you are willing to return to your original life, I will forgive you. Unless I happen to want to get out of this relationship or marriage too. As long as I still love you, I am willing to forgive you for all your mistakes. But only if you don't use this attitude of mine as an excuse to be wrong. And he said, "Just think about it, you have cheated and made mistakes, and I don't have the strength to go on with you." Then I told him: "There are two situations you can't imagine, one is when your lover cheats. , one is the death of a loved one. In fact, we all know in our hearts that it will happen one day, but we still can’t afford it. So we don’t torture ourselves to think about these issues.”
Finally, about the concentration of cheating, mental and physical , which is more excessive and more unbearable?
In "Love One Night", the husband and wife also spent the night outside, one snuggled up in the arms of their old lover, and their hearts were broken all night. One has been entangled with a female colleague all night. Who is more annoying? I believe that even if I go to court and let the judge go to trial, most judges will only accept the fact that the physical relationship has occurred, not the consciousness that has not yet happened and is only active in the brain.
The road to marriage is long, and don’t always manage your marriage with idealism. If you expect your husband to understand all your thoughts, and expect your husband to get out of his skin and become one with you, then you can only do it yourself. Make a mess of your marriage. Any relationship or marriage does not survive in "facing the sea, spring blossoms". You have to put up with the fact that your husband has a beauty outside (if you really love him enough), you have to put up with the fact that your husband has changed from a handsome boy to an oily middle-aged man, and you have to put up with the fact that he doesn't bring you that kind of flower Three hours of makeup, just to go to his life for a business dinner.
The topic seems to have gone too far. All in all, working hard outside and earning money to support a family is a much nobler quality than using "idealism" to guide life.
If I were the heroine in "One Night Love", I'd pack up and get back into the arms of family. If I were the male protagonist, even if I found some clues in the final shots that my wife was out for the night, I would keep it quiet, let it be.
