This movie is actually discussing a very cliche issue: the loyalty and temptation between men and women. The problem of the so-called cliche is that it is enduring and universal. As long as you are willing to shoot, you will not worry about finding a resonant target market. Secondly, it is often talked about by many people in the past. However, how to make innovations and stand out has become the biggest difficulty.
The original intention of this film is to form a "struggle" pattern-first the male and female protagonists dance a couple rumba, and then exchange partners with the two "fatal temptations", each tango is both a rivalry between the two dancers. It is also a wrestling between the male and female parties of the dance, and the final battle is for the audience's attention. The night in New York provides a splendid dance floor, Clint Mansell's music sets off a stunning atmosphere, and handsome guys and beautiful women under the lights do their jobs. This adult-style movie aimed at "seduction" failed to fascinate me.
The reason is one in casting, two in the story, and three in the details.
The original intention of casting is to draw a comparison between "husband" and "ideal lover", "wife" and "dream lover" to show their identities. Marcus, who landed in Hollywood as an action movie hero, has his own Australian clay soil. The calmness and rigidity of the French genius Carnet with a mellow English smile and an ambiguous smile, just as mineral water meets red wine, and the English rose Kera with a classic and thin face, and Eva’s healthy skin tone with a Latin style and The plump body is just like Caesar salad hits Spanish seafood risotto-red wine and risotto are both eaten, mineral water and salad are essential for home.
However, the mineral water with salad is naturally tasteless. The film was originally intended to introduce the scene of the relationship between husband and wife. However, because the two actors have different accents from their respective accents, they can't taste the warmth of "young couples for many years." Indifferent and unhealthy.
After that, the red wine was on the table. Although Carnet didn’t know if it was unacceptable in this film, there were only performances like "Expression No. 1" and "Expression No. 2", but standing side by side with Kera, the two people's European style is at least a bit of a literary film. The atmosphere (on the other hand, the combination of Marcus and Eva is very suitable for happenings in Mexico).
In the arrangement of the script, the two people are not just a past tense relationship like "have ever had", but are almost a "lasting soulmate". Seeing how he touched her hair and how she shook his hand back, there seemed to be no need for the existence of these creatures like her husband and his girlfriend in this world.
They talked about her work, his life, their past, her troubles, his doubts, and their thoughts. They walked the dog, drank, kissed and hugged each other and slept together. The hard to separate when they were separated, and the tears after the parting. It's a youth version of "The Bridge of Madison County". I don't know how many viewers are like me, thinking that she might as well just run with him like this-she doesn't even have children!
So Marcus on the other side should really call to thank Carnet for his extraordinary appearance-he still looks like the jet lag is not upside down, this is the situation, if it is normal, where there is another pair of dancers standing!
Marcus and Eva, in order to complete "Which one is the most deadly betrayal in marriage or physical derailment, or can the two be offset?" For this question, refer to the physical conditions between them and the carnet and kera pair. The difference is naturally given the task of "physical temptation". But at this point, the screenwriter-that is, the director, suddenly seemed to be shy, and didn't know how to use it.
The pair of "spiritual love" over there hugged their waists and touched their legs. Although they didn't get to home base in the end, they hit back and forth. This side turned out to be playing peeking at other people's PP and drinking in the swimming pool in underwear. Young game? Hello, even the camera here suddenly becomes more regular, and it is said to be "wet underwear" but Eva is wearing a skirt, Marcus is wearing boxer shorts that reach the knees. This is an audience who originally had fantasies about their flesh. (For example, I) can't get high at all.
This tango battle basically showed the same desperate difference in strength between Koshien and elementary school baseball games! Mo said that why Eva was attracted to Marcus in the first place has become an unsolved mystery. The only reasonable explanation is that she is an avatar fan. At the beginning, how could Marcus, who insisted on the position of "I am married", be in a swimming pool. After the conversation, the wolf turned and knocked her down, which made me at least as a female audience unable to find a triger. It seems that Marcus finally disappointed Kera’s trust and fell into it. It was just to cooperate with Kera to conceal the fact that carnet exists from him, to prove that "the person you think you know knows actually has many secrets."
At this time, in "love." In two words-at least in the 36 hours in front of the movie audience-the pair of kera and carnet, who won the last line of defense, can no longer be compared with Eva and Marcus to illustrate "physical Whether not to cheat is based on the physical loyalty of the other party. Just like Eva decides whether or not to continue drinking by someone else’s departure or not, it is not at all "not wanting to go out" but unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences. That's it", because in terms of current ethics, there is a tolerance difference in the physical derailment between men and women, and "love but cannot be together" just seems miserable.
If you pay attention, the lines that are not outstanding in the whole show are very concerned about the word "love". Marcus and Kera said to each other "I love you", Carnet said to Kera "I like you very much", Marcus and Eva It was "I am attracted to you", and Kera also said "I love you" to Carnet. At the end of the story, when her husband said "I love you" again, she stopped responding. The arrangement of this section of the plot is entirely to push the audience to the position of the heroine. This may be the director's deviation due to his subconscious self-protection for women, but the addition of various factors has completely evolved into a situation like "scorching love vs. ordinary marriage". It makes people think that the reason why the couple can go to the present is just "habit". The
final abrupt end of the movie was probably intended to make the audience speculate based on their own moral values, but one just couldn't stand the temptation to do so. A husband who has gone wrong, and a wife who has just been separated from the love, the former lost the audience’s understanding due to a plot error, and the latter received the audience’s sympathy due to the ingenuity of the story arrangement. The ability to make the audience fight between heaven and man. Although the line setting is the same without salt, the red wine and salad are still too good, the mineral water and the seafood risotto is completely unswallowed.
Put these most common questions about the relationship between men and women and marital problems to these two pairs, which can hardly find too many topics. Talk about one of the two men and women who have not sparked an affair at all, and the one pair itself has no chemical reaction, but there is no time. Couples who come to show their marriage and beauty simply cannot play the role of torture and reflection as they should.
Finally, this was originally intended to show the most common problems in the relationship between men and women in reality through an ordinary night of an ordinary couple, but if you want to tell a "story of ordinary people", you must at least get a little understanding of ordinary people. Live it. Don’t talk about him, at least he is less than 30 years old (calculated from the number of years they have been married) like the heroine and heroine, and they are all foreigners. Women write columns for their livelihoods and men are only the real estate economy. It’s impossible to live in New York. I bought such a large apartment in the city center with a fairly good layout! And judging from the kitchen of the hero's colleague's house, the area of that apartment is not small! If you just want a good-looking picture, it is reasonable to say that the actor is from Wall Street! And regardless of the number of star hotels, the swimming pool was closed at two o'clock in the morning, and at least the power supply to keep the water temperature was cut off-for the sake of environmental protection as well as safety and hygiene! In the middle of the night holding a glass of wine in the indoor heated swimming pool to perform mandarin ducks playing in the water, is it feasible for the screenwriter to practice it first? ! Nowadays, screenwriters in any country are not really interested in living the lives of ordinary people.
PS: Marcus, you should play the facial paralysis hero in the action movie. The audience calls for literary and artistic films, and the audience also needs action men. You really look more attractive because of facial paralysis
