Original Sin
Michael Christopher
The film is based on Cornell Woolrich's novel Waltz in the Dark.
French director Truffaut made it into "Fraudulent Marriage" in 1969.
In 2001, director Michael Christopher remade it again,
The drama of the original story has been retained, and the scale has been increased.
The story begins in Santiago, Cuba —
The male protagonist Louis, the brother of the local rich man,
Want money and money, want to have a face, a proper diamond king old five,
The only regret is that she has not yet married.
In the blink of an eye, it's already grown,
Louis, who is bent on pursuing a career, has finally begun to consider lifelong events.
But he is a person with a clear brain, and he does not take the usual path of marriage -
Others are first blind date, get along properly and then talk about marriage,
Unlike him, he bought a "mail order bride" directly in the newspaper!
In his view, marriage and wife are just partners to live together,
He never believed in love, nor did he care what the other person looked like.
As long as the other party is gentle and sincere, young and healthy, and able to have a baby.
He even arranged a schedule for efficient marriage,
Pick up the bride at 6 o'clock, get the wedding at 9 o'clock, and go back to work at 10 o'clock!
Worthy of being a man who only wants to do business...
However, man is not as good as heaven, louis did not expect anything,
All these plans collapsed in an instant at the moment of meeting the bride,
Why?
Because the bride is really so beautiful.
The bride's name is Julia, pure, beautiful, and generous,
Louis saw her for the first time and fell completely,
But the only remaining sanity reminded him that there was something strange about this bride—
Because she and the woman in the photo sent by the seller are completely incompatible.
Is it "sending the wrong goods"?
Not. Julia explains—
She doesn't want buyers to marry her because they covet her beauty.
So chose to send fake photos.
After listening to Julia's explanation, Louis showed a meaningful smile,
It turned out that he had also lied to her—
In his letter, he lied that he was a poor boy with a family of disciples,
Because I can't afford to marry a wife, I choose to buy a bride.
In this way, the two are evenly matched,
Louis felt that he and Julia were the same kind of people, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
The two held a simple but warm wedding as promised,
But at night, Julia asked to sleep in separate rooms.
Because she doesn't want to have a relationship when she only sees one side...,
Louis, immersed in love, thoughtfully agreed.
In the days that followed, Louis was particularly attached to Julia.
Julia was also impressed by Louis's meticulous thoughtfulness,
Unsurprisingly, the relationship between Louis and Julia heated up rapidly.
Then, what should have happened, what shouldn't have happened, and so did...
It is said that this scene was filmed for a full 8 hours,
In the end, taking into account the reasons of all parties, it was only reduced to 4 minutes.
The couple's feelings gradually deepened,
Louis also naturally opened up permissions for Julia,
Leave it at her disposal to dispose of the money in her bank account.
As soon as the money was mentioned, the uncle felt that this story was going to be a big deal.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for something to happen—
On this day, Louis received a letter from Julia's sister,
The letter complained that Julia had not written home, which made her very worried.
Louis urged Julia to write back,
But who knows, when Louis received a reply from his sister again,
Julia's sister said that it was not Julia's handwriting at all.
Soon after, a detective came up to the door,
It turned out that Julia's sister was too worried about her sister's safety and even hired someone to investigate.
Louis, who was carried away by love, realized that something was wrong,
He ran home with a confused face, and the result was tragic—
Julia is gone,
Along with her, there was Louis's money...
With both men and fortunes, Julia took away almost all of Louis's possessions,
An enraged Louis found the detective who had come to him.
Detective proposes to join forces with Louis to find Julia, the bad woman.
Louis readily agreed, even if the money could not be recovered.
Because what he wants is not money, it's people.
He just wants fierce revenge.
Unfortunately, in the game of love, Louis lost very thoroughly!
Louis and the detectives didn't have much effort to find Julia,
But see Julia again, Louis is messed up again...
Knowing that the woman he married was an imposter,
Knowing that she may have murdered the real Julia,
But Louis found that he could not live without her in his life.
So he made an unbelievable decision...
So what exactly did Louis decide?
What exactly is Julia's true identity?
Uncle here is not a spoiler ~
The so-called "original sin" refers to the original sin in the Bible.
In the Bible, Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent,
Disobeying God's prohibition, he stole the fruit of wisdom in the Garden of Eden,
Thus he was no longer pure in his original sin and was expelled from the Garden of Eden.
And this film explores the same one, about love and desire, sin and redemption,
In the film, borrowing the mouth of Louis's friend, the difference between love and desire is revealed.
Love will make you give, and then keep giving more.
Desire is taking, and then keep asking for more.
And what can redeem the sinful desire for infinite taking?
The film gives a possible answer -
Pure, complete, selfless love may redeem endless greed...
