It can be seen that the two of them have been married recently, have not had any children, have a good life and work easily. Especially Joanna, her career as a freelance writer gave her a sensitive, fragile, melancholic temperament and a lot of free time, so when she saw Mike and her sexy and hot female colleague Lola had a lot of exchanges at the party At that time, he took it for granted that Mike and Lola had something.
When she got home, Joanna was very angry with Mike. Mike was full of grievances and couldn't explain it. After a big fight, she got up and gave Joanna an omelette in the middle of the night.
Then Mike went on a business trip with Laura untimely. Joanna, who was at home alone, met her former lover, Alex. Joanna is not the kind of unfaithful woman, but when Alex issued an invitation to her, Joanna dresses up seriously and happily goes to the appointment. In the process, she keeps hanging up Mike's phone, and After the kiss, I shared the bed with Alex.
Over there, Mike and Lola went to Wushan together. After the work, Mike rushed home early with regret and regret. Joanna slept with Yi and Alex all night, returned home, and finally waited for Mike's love confession and affectionate hug.
On the face of it, the husband cheated physically, and the wife went out of the wall in spirit. But things are never that simple. With Mike and Lola's identity, status and experience, they are far past the pure thrill-seeking stage. In fact, when Mike and Lola are chatting in the bar and swimming pool, you can clearly feel the difference. The deep sympathy in people's hearts; and Joanna and Alex's lingering overnight, there is only the last line of defense that is not "lost"-this is not essentially different from the physical relationship.
It’s said that women’s instincts are very accurate. Mike’s inattentive temptation seems to fulfill Joanna’s premonitions, but this is a question of chicken laying and egg laying — if there is no such thing as Joanna’s bad words, maybe Mike would not be so. I quickly realized the tenderness of Laura.
In fact, the middle-class marriage is already full of troubles. Joanna, who was not a mother, swayed in loneliness, suspicion, and temptation. She really wanted to form a family of three. Don't worry, there is "Desperate Housewives" waiting for her.
In this patriarchal society, the best outcome for most women is to be an active outcast. Even if Joanna leaves Mike, Mike's surplus value is obviously more self-evident. Therefore, the sensitivity and entanglement of women may be a need based on self-defense.
Manhattan is a symbol. In this radiant world, red men and green women feel the loneliness of their bones in the carnival. Under the creation of Hollywood, "One Night in Love" staged a transnational drama. Australian tough guys, British sweet girls, French handsome men, and Latin royal sisters jointly performed this lively drama-it seems that this is almost contemporary Western A routine in urban emotional movies is exactly the same as "Stealing the Heart" seven years ago.
The whole "A Night in Love" is a night scene, and the cold tones reflect the hesitation of the characters' hearts. And Clint Mansell's soundtrack is also indispensable. The simple tone and the emotional fluctuations of the character complement each other, and the narrative tone of alienation is increasingly revealed.
Regarding marriage, "One Night in Love" brings us the two-fold message: The bad news is that marriage is not a safe haven; the good news is that marriage is not a tomb. Pain means love. The torment of Mike and Joanna also confirms their love for each other.
It is a pity that as a social animal, human love must also be institutionalized, so marriage came into being, and this kind of survival paradigm based on economic system is often shrouded in the veil of love. It comes and goes, marriage and love. The relationship between them is ambiguous, and coupled with the rendering of massive literary works, lovers must be married, and it has become a law that everyone hopes to return. Movies like "One Night in Love" actually question the marriage system itself.
At the end of the film, Mike, who hugged Joanna tightly, saw his wife's high heels scattered at the door of the bedroom, which is enough to prove that she was lying by saying that she hadn't been out overnight.
Just as Joanna opened her mouth, the film stopped abruptly.
It seems that the top has not fallen, and this suspicion will continue.
Everyone has a torn shoe in his heart. In this siege of the torn shoe, we surround the marriage.
