Love in the name of love does not represent perfection. The passion of marriage will gradually disappear with the passage of time, and the rest are responsibilities, obligations, habits and triviality. Some people say that there are only three kinds of betrayal by a man to a woman, or a betrayal of a woman to a man, the betrayal of the body, the betrayal of the spirit, and the double betrayal of the body and the spirit. However, on the issue of physical betrayal and spiritual betrayal, which is more important is always an ambiguous topic. The wife Joanna played by Keira Knightley and the husband Mike played by Sam Worthington are an envious couple, Mike has a stable job, Joanna is a small famous freelance writer, in The quiet life caused a series of problems due to suspicion. The story begins when Mike and his female colleague Lola are on a business trip, and Joanna meets her old lover, Alex. The moral concept that the whole film wants to express also surfaced at this time.
The structure of the two-line narrative adopted by the story, one line is Mike and Lola, the other is Joanna and Alex, these two lines just illustrate the two different attitudes of men and women towards love and marriage. Mike's physical derailment, Joanna's spiritual derailment, two different forms of derailment just reflect the modern people's view of love. There is no strong dramatic conflict in the whole film, and the actors do not have enough space to exert their acting skills. The eloquent way of telling pushes the whole film to the edge of morality, and the cruelty of reality makes people shudder.
Whether it is the subject matter of the story or the overall style of the movie, "One Night Love" presents a literary atmosphere. Director Messi Taghidine restores the essence of life and the truth of marriage with subtle shots, and puts a speculative proposition to the audience. Choosing marriage or choosing love, the story of this movie seems to happen overnight. In fact, the director has made sufficient preparations at the beginning of the film. The identity, status and living conditions of Mike and Joanna have been introduced in detail. , which adds to the authenticity of the whole film, most marriages that seem to happen in the film actually exist in reality.
Whether choosing marriage or choosing love, the benchmark for people to choose is the self-interest between the two. The self-interest of marriage lies in the material foundation, and the self-interest in love lies in the spiritual foundation. Many people cannot choose between the two. Balance point, but most people will focus on material basis as egoistic focus. Wang Anyi said in "The Age of Enlightenment": The world has enough insight, and the insight is not something as grand as history, but the people of the world. Once again, the drama goes out of the joking part and returns to a comprehensive and serious drama. As a kind of attitude towards things, the non-serious part is stored there, ready to be retrieved when we need it. The city continued to be silent, not so dignified, with some implication of being a good boy, that is, judging the situation.
In this film, the passionate scenes of Mike and Lola, and the ambiguous relationship between Joanna and Alex make the whole film full of hormonal flavor. Compared with many movies that use passion scenes as their selling points, this film is in the expression of male and female eroticism. It is more euphemistic, there are no bloody scenes, and the story points directly to the moral judgment itself, which is also the director's cleverness.
