Absurd women and real marriages

I didn't expect that the first time I tried to write a movie review was in such an environment, after watching such a movie.
It was 3:30 in the morning, and I was lying on the middle bunk of the train. I was sleepy and tired, but the three sleeping passengers on the opposite side were snoring like thunder, so I simply didn't sleep to watch a movie.
I chose this film because the protagonists are Angie and Pete, the name looks like a romantic film, and it is directed by Angie, and I want to find out. Habits, it turns out, are scary, and the couple's historical style made me think the next episode, when the two of them entered the house, moved the table and Angie turned on the typewriter. Big guy...
To be honest, if it wasn't for my mood tonight, maybe I wouldn't be able to watch this movie with a long and tedious plot, and the heroine's nervousness without intermittent episodes. It feels like they have been hopeless and entangled in their uninteresting and powerless marriages. In order to get rid of them, they have resorted to perverted methods, and I don't know whether to recover quickly or hang themselves in the grave of the marriage...
Unintentional spoilers, but there are a few plots that really I am very touched.
When Angie found the hole in the wall, I had a premonition that there would be a voyeuristic plot, but when she first saw it, I felt extremely embarrassed, always feeling that an eye would appear on the other side of the wall at any time to meet her. I couldn't face the screen for a while because of this embarrassment...
Angie asked Pete if she wanted the woman next door, and I somehow thought that she wanted a threesome, or even invited the woman from the neighbor to play cards at the house until eight o'clock, I thought it was going to be implemented. I don't know why the ambiguity between the three is so obvious. More obviously on the sailboat...
Later, the common peeping of the two made me even more embarrassed. In order to avoid commenting on the moral high ground, I tried to understand the original intention of the two. The husband seems to want to have a common intersection with his wife. , out of boundless tolerance and indulgence, he also behaved as morbidly, and in the process, there was also enjoyment... When the
husband saw his wife trying to cheat, he was angry for the first time, and then he immediately told his wife, you If you don't want him, you are just jealous that you are sick. What you want is me... Some people understand that this is love for his wife, but what I see is his self-anaesthesia that he doesn't dare to face the reality.
In the end, I still can't
understand why he loves her, or why they reconcile at the end...
But it seems that this kind of film itself does not want to tell everyone a story clearly, but, in the film, everyone has different open-ended feeling.
Or it is about the beauty of marriage, the sweetness of marriage, the tempering of time and the importance of sex life.
Ironically, when the newlyweds next door were discussing the troubled couple, the man said: You don't have to worry about what we'll be like in years. In a few days, I intend to cheat on the beautiful wife of my neighbor... The so-called "don't worry about years later" means: it won't take many years...
In short, I still can't understand going with the waves, and I don't know the difficulties in marriage. Is it the norm or just an inappropriate outcome.
That's it.
