Your Chloe

She can be a waitress that you frequent the restaurant, a subordinate, or a tutor for your child. She doesn't need the past, the future, or even a name, she just needs to float into your world, like a flowing cloud between you and your sun. Then, you opened your eyes and found to your horror that the achievements you were proud of in the past and your life now are dimmed. Yes, you are a respected doctor, have your own clinic, your husband is a well-respected professor, and your children are awe-inspiring. You have a cocktail party and a PARTY, you can go to any place in the world for vacation every year, and you can enter and exit enviable high-end restaurants. But what does all this have to do?
Confident and happy smiles have been left in the past, and now there are only middle-aged men who talk slick and sophisticated around you, and these trivial housewives who have known you for many years but know each other only slightly, and You are attached to your heart and dreaming, but you suddenly find that you are no longer close and no longer understand, and the gap between your hearts is like a wrinkle on your face. You tell him that every strand of his gray hair makes him more and more attractive and makes you more and more ashamed. Standing at the midpoint of your life, you are afraid that everything about yourself will fall apart in a moment.
What about her? She is a snowy blond elf, she is the beauty you want to keep behind the mirror. Youth, vitality, beauty, time, opportunity, these things you have lost or never had, she easily holds in her palm. You look at the breath she releases between her gestures. Like the scorching summer sun shining into the damp dungeon, the blue sweet spring soaks the cracked scorched yellow earth, and the clear nature melts the dead silence of the ruins.
You stand in your office on the top floor and look at her. With the hesitating steps of a desperate housewife, you walk down the looking up platform and walk into the bar where she works. "My husband is cheating. I want you to approach him and tell me how he did it." Outrageous? At this time, reason is no longer the criterion for your actions, and there is only despair in the fragile and anxious brain. A desperate woman tremblingly tempted and then returned to a familiar circle, dragging forward with the chains of the life of a sitting person, waiting to hear the answer that she could not dodge while she was struggling to resist.
The man on the opposite side is beautiful, quietly narrating cold and mercilessly. You are finally sure of his infidelity. You don’t need to be bitten by suspicion, and finally you can do your best to control the pain and restrained wrestling on your face again and again. twitch. But you can't notice that this girl is getting closer and closer to your life. When she attracts your child's eyes and kisses you on the face, you don't realize that she will become a living nightmare that you cannot escape.
Compared with the vague and single-faced third parties in many such movies, Chloe is like a snow lotus soaked in bright blood, which will be unforgettable for viewers for a long time. She carefully lays out the person’s attention and desire step by step. She will laugh like a child when she is able to enter the office, and when the lie is about to be expelled after being exposed, tears flowed from a pool of blue ripples in her pupils, curled up on it. A wounded elf put all his efforts down to the bottom of the lake, begging bitterly, love me, love me...
But all this only adds a touch of sadness to her symbolic existence. Her past is still vaguely hidden, she faces everyone with lies, the only certainty seems to be the infatuation. But who knows? What if she didn't escape by deceiving herself? The first time she saw the hostess, she hid in the bathroom and cried, "I hate men." According to her, the hairpin used to thank her came from her mother, so she shouldn't be by her side. Thin and helpless, long-term independent?
These doubts that we have no way of knowing the answer have not yet come out, and her longing for reliance and happiness have not yet been written down, ushered in a broken ending. Her mystery and grief fell into the grass with her body, sinking into the center of the earth, only becoming an episode in other people's lives. The bitter wind of winter night only had time to snatch back a silver hairpin, and in the future it will stay on that person's carefully-wrapped hair bun, and stay in her middle-class life where she can't bear to leave a message and drift away.
However, the lights of thousands of families are on and off, and at the dawn of every icy, lonely, empty bedding night, who is whose next Chloe?

    60/100. Textbook anticlimactic. It seems that the three good actors have no attraction to the director, who plunged into his proud photography skills and failed to climb out until the last shot.

    Catherine actually "enjoyed" communicating with Chloe, as if she had found a substitute for her increasingly estranged and difficult-to-communicate son, and at times seemed like a voyeur trying to regain control of her life; while Chloe was Like a tree hole, a spiritual consolation, but she is also a little girl who longs for the love of an adult woman. Chloe eventually attacked and became the "Trojan horse" that infiltrated the Katherine family, destroyed the self-righteous and ruthless bourgeois family in the way she was best at, and then ended her life in a comfortable manner. Chloe is the most "pure" person in the play, and the only victim, a sacrifice to those damned desires.

Chloe quotes

  • Chloe: I guess I've always been pretty good with words. In my line of business. It's as important to be able to describe what I'm doing as it is to do what I'm doing. When to say what. What words to select.

    Chloe: Some men hate to hear certain terms. They can't stand specific moves and then they can't live without others. It's part of my job to know where to place my hand, my lips, my tongue, my leg and even my thoughts.

    Chloe: What kind of pressure, for how long, when to stop. I can become your first kiss... or a torn out image from a Playboy magazine that you found when you were 9 years old.

    Chloe: Am I your secretary or am I your daughter? Maybe I'm your seventh grade math teacher you always hated. All I know is that if I do it just right, I can become your living, breathing, unflinching dream, and then I can actually disappear.

  • Catherine Stewart: How do you do this?

    Chloe: I try to find something to love in everybody. Even if it's a small thing. Something about the way someone smiles. There's always something. There has to be. I try to make myself generous. I do things I don't wanna do. I think about what not to criticise. And the strangest things come back to me.

    Catherine Stewart: Like?

    Chloe: You.
