On the whole, the psychology of Cal, who is attacked by the face, can be seen from JS's acting skills,
while the psychology of Anne, who is a bit gypsy, is a bit elusive.
In E02, the two appeared for the first time. Anne wanted to temporarily live in Cal's house. At first, Cal was reluctant and even wanted to pass it on to others. Because Steven would feel uncomfortable or suspicious, Cal must have been somewhat repulsive, but after the press conference, he readily agreed. anne, can barely prove that cal's caring and unspeakable refusal combined with anne's good impression of anne's wise move at the press conference, and anne was a little uncomfortable just arriving at cal's house, but her fragile heart and sense of responsibility to the children drove her to be strong , but soon found a temporary home and interest.
Cal didn't attend the party at the newspaper office, but he returned to the apartment and guessed the song title with anne. It could be seen that he had some sparks with anne. When they said goodnight to each other, the drunk anne gave cal a kiss, and cal leaned against the wall. Flower~ But I really don't want to cheat, so my expression is a little deep and elusive.
Anne seduced Cal in order to read the report written by Cal with her husband. Cal gave Anne a hug and kiss out of a man's protective psychology for vulnerable women. How solemn his expression was when he kissed Anne! ! ! ! It is conceivable that Cal has an uncontrollable desire in his heart that he does not want to stray from the track. At this time, his feelings sublime to the point where he wants to possess Anne and is a little timid.
Why are there so many records in cal's house? In E04, before they went to the record store, they mentioned in the cal car that anne opened a record store (combined with what anne said before guessing the song title in E02), and it also means that he collects records all year round in order to please anne.
In E03, the two were found to have an affair, and steven mentioned that Cal peeked at Anne when he was campaigning for the manager.
Before their affair was discovered, on the one hand, he was reluctant to let the injured anne face Yali alone, on the one hand, he couldn't restrain his desire for anne, and on the other hand, he couldn't face the condemnation of his upcoming friend. An important aspect: He still has important work, and this work is also related to whether steven is innocent or not, whether he will go to jail, whether anne will return to her husband, whether she will be a widow and need her own care, etc. Cal has always been in conflict, until he was discovered by steven to have an affair with anne, he really had to make this decision, he said to anne that he loved her and that anne had to take action.
So he wrote a letter to anne after the incident to express his intentions. A reporter simply wrote some adjectives. It can be inferred that cal already had a strong love for anne when he wrote the letter. After finding out, they broke up, but implied that anne wanted to face this relationship with herself. But Anne's response made people confused. Was the kiss and hug she gave Cal out of sympathy or out of a momentary move and agreed to give each other? In the picture, cal's expression is more solemn. It is not difficult to guess that cal is not confident in himself. Maybe anne is just sympathetic, and cal also has a premonition that their relationship will not last long.
When he finally quarreled with anne, it was also out of selfish love for anne. It was a stupid way to keep anne, but it hurt anne instead, so anne scolded him, he turned and left, leaving only what he really should be under the moral code. A couple together.
It's hard to see any distraction from cal and his colleagues at the newspaper as he solves the case step by step, he's focused on the job and is crazy about it more than he has feelings for anne, I see a kind of indifference from the man, and the rest of the newspaper's focus The frenzy over the case made it seem like these reporters really lacked a bit of humanity.
Anne is mostly emotional in the play, including the rationality of women's sense of responsibility for the family, which reminds me of the complex psychology of women played by Aunt Mei in the covered bridge. She didn't think too much about Cal's situation and Cal's strong love for herself, so it seems that only Anne's unscrupulous catharsis to Cal makes it cruel for Cal to face alone, but she stabilizes her husband and completes the family and escapes social condemnation. There is nothing wrong with anne on the macro level, and everything that happened with cal and cal has a reason.
E05 also has a detail, he told anne to call anne when anne left his house, but considering the work, when anne got in the car and cal chased the car, he knocked on the window and told anne to call him, but in the end the work was over. I called anne first, it was already 2:00 in the morning (seemingly), which more fully demonstrated that cal was the active party, anne had always been the passive and irresponsible party, and could leave at any time according to her husband's situation, not simply To say that anne has no feelings for cal can only prove that anne has a woman's sensibility and a lack of rationality.
In the end, I personally think that Cal's expression is a little bit of a conspiracy. When he was found cheating, steven said that Cal always wanted something that he couldn't, because Steven was a high-ranking official in the political situation, and his status was higher than Cal, but how could he think that Cal was in After the case is over, he will become famous, and steven will go to jail in disrepute, suggesting that cal may still have a chance to get his love.
If steven is convicted of murder, cal will have a chance to meet anne again. Even if steven has threatened cal, it will be impossible for cal and anne to get back together again, but if cal becomes famous for this case, there will still be more opportunities to meet with anne. In the future, it's a bit of a tomorrow is another day's rush, and everything has a hopeful ending. His relationship with Anne still has the possibility to continue, even if it ends here, he still fulfills his responsibility as a man, but poor Cal lost a political friend, that's all.
Cal is no longer the playboy who was frivolous about feelings, as steven said, chasing this and poking that. It is in Anne's entangled feelings that Cal really learned to love someone, and what Anne really got in the end is unknown.
