If the author of the novel is a man who has succumbed to his wife's arrogance all the year round, and is repressed in real life in order to vent his anger in the novel, then I believe that this movie is about marriage, but unfortunately it is not.
A heroine who was packaged and consumed in her childhood, she understands what kind of stories the media needs, and she is so good at creating stories after stories to hit the G-spot of the media. Chasing the bloody media in her hands is just a handy tool for her to frame her husband and murder her fans. Both sides of this man-made murder game ultimately chose the media as the battlefield for their tug-of-war. As long as we do a little bit of association, we can understand why the "Li Tianyi case" has been in the headlines of Chinese media for half a year. Teacher Neil Postman, who foreshadowed the classic theory of "the disappearance of human childhood", must have never imagined that due to the geometric growth of information technology, human beings are striding into estrus with their heads held high.
This is an era that encourages desire, because desire leads to consumption. It’s not just sex and violence that can be consumed, but also stories that make you fall asleep with a sense of satisfaction with a little like on social tools.
An unfaithful husband, a wife who vanished out of thin air, a diary of true love, oh, this vanishing wife is also pregnant with the child of her unfaithful husband, there is no reason not to be the object of street talk. This is a piece of cake for the heroine Amy, who still wanted to write the story as a tragic drama until she saw her husband's "true confession" on a talk show. However, she made a quick decision, slashed the fans' throats with a knife, and appeared at the door of her house in the early morning, covered in blood, waiting for the long queue of interview cars to capture the scenes of the couple's loving reunion. The once-in-a-century reunion story of the husband's prodigal son and his wife's sexual assault on the target is much more interesting to Amy than the previously planned tragic drama. She used the media, indulged in the media, and then was used by the media, taking the stories under the spotlight as her own life. And her life story is how much she comforts the lonely soul curled up in bed after a hard day's work. How does this look like a conspiracy story in the modern consumer society, there will never be a shortage of materials and audiences. I don't know what kind of audience there is, what kind of material, or what kind of material, and what kind of audience is fed.
If the universal truth that "love is the foundation of marriage" isn't a blatant objection, then the movie shouldn't be seen as a mockery of marriage. Of course, if someone thinks that a wife must always be on guard against her husband strangling herself; and a husband is afraid that his wife's false accusation of walking on thin ice is a required course in marriage, then I have nothing to say.
And I believe that Amy and Nick Dunn's encounter was beautiful, and their love and marriage were happy at least for the first few years. Then according to the American psychologist Robert Steinberg's "love is a story" theory: we fall in love with someone only because a certain quality of this person satisfies the presupposition of love in your story to a certain extent . Not only does the heroine want to play the role of a Goog girl, but the hero also wants to be a "good man". And their marriage crisis happened because the male couldn't act anymore, and the turning point from the tragic drama to the reunion drama was precisely when the heroine discovered that the husband on the talk show was in line with her presupposition of love stories.
