This is a film that challenges three views. The male protagonist is an undesirable writer, the female protagonist is the wife of a diplomat, and once the eyes meet on the streets of Washington, the two look at each other.
Hooking up, set almost, the heroine is so natural, directly tell the other party that they hope to see the male protagonist next week, and a love at first sight fate begins.
But when the male protagonist thought that this was a beautiful fate to meet, the female protagonist told him that she was married, had two children, and her husband was the ambassador to the United States.
The female protagonist's frankness makes the male protagonist stunned, but he cannot resist the temptation of feelings, continue to communicate with each other, and cooperate with the other party to date, shop, watch movies, and go to bed in the free time of 5 to 7 o'clock every day.
In the two exchanges, the heroine's husband actually invited the male protagonist to the home to participate in the high society banquet, not for anything else, is to thank the male protagonist for making the female protagonist happy and happy, the husband's behavior is intended to show: I tacitly accept the relationship between you and my wife, you are one of the members of our family, confess to each other, there is no need to hide, the male protagonist can even become a confidant with the husband's lover!
Subsequent facts also proved that this husband was not pretending, but very frank. He let the male protagonist take care of the children; and attended the male protagonist's award ceremony with his wife...
However, this kind of love that challenges the concept of humanity of the male owner still makes him split and unhappy, and finally the male protagonist decides to break the boat and use the first manuscript fee of 6,000 US dollars to buy a ring for the female protagonist and propose to her.
Unexpectedly, his behavior made the heroine dazed and flustered, and her feeling for the male protagonist was love, but she just hoped to enjoy this feeling in a harmonious situation, and she had no way to give up her current marriage. In the end, the elopement that was said was fruitless.
Many years later, the male and female protagonists met again, the female protagonist was a happy family, and the male protagonist and his wife pushed the child. This is different from the reunion imagined by the male protagonist countless times, and the husband of the female protagonist still shakes hands with the male protagonist as if nothing has happened, and even asks the male protagonist about the recent situation of his former lover.
This is indeed a movie that destroys three views, the couple cheats on each other, and also "has the heart" to admit the object of each other's cheating, and also regards the other lover as a good friend.
It turned out that the combination of the heroine and her husband was also because of love, but time made them finally become relatives. There is no more dopamine between relatives, but how can it continue? It seems that only cheating can solve this problem, and they want each other to be like their relatives in life, hoping to make each other happy. Accept each other's cheating partners and become part of the family.
The heroine has found a rare love in the male protagonist, and in order to make the male protagonist accept this relationship, she has been trying to change him, even change his parents. Ignoring the pain of the male protagonist in this relationship, he tried to brainwash the boy with his own values.
But true love is a male protagonist with possessiveness and uniqueness, deep in love, struggling and suffering, hoping to be truly with the woman he loves. In the constant struggle between the three views and love, he finally chose to bravely face his heart and propose to the heroine.
The heroine's husband also fulfills the promise of his relatives in his own way, and he blames the male owner for breaking the balance. Like a father, he beat up the man who stole his daughter's heart, leaving a sum of money in the hope that they would be happy!
Unfortunately, the heroine is worried that their feelings will eventually be the same as their husband's life, and will eventually fall into flatness. The female protagonist finally chose to live in peace with her husband, and met the male protagonist many years later, but she had to deliberately take off her gloves to let the male protagonist see that she was still wearing the ring he gave.
The heroine uses this way to pay tribute to the love that was once there.
The film explores the open marriage at the same time, emphasizing the preservation period of love, what is love? Is the marriage of the heroine and her husband love? Is the passion of the heroine and the male protagonist love? If love is only the secretion of dopamine, how to continue after the secretion of the file is reduced?
In fact, there are many kinds of love in this world, but each form of love is different, and the concentration is different. People's lifelong dopamine secretion is limited, and the heat of a person is only for a period of time, can cheating save feelings and marriage?
Obviously not!
In this way, what is ultimately destroyed is the real world view, even if the heroine still has feelings for the male protagonist many years later, but because she is afraid of the end, she does not dare to start, preferring to take what she needs in the same marriage as the prison. The ring that finally took off the gloves and was exposed, in addition to highlighting the sadness of the heroine, did not deserve a trace of touch and sympathy.
So, after the end of dopamine secretion of the other half, what do we rely on to sustain the day and earth? Faith, morality, reason, etc. are a means. More importantly, it is to find a point of convergence with each other, grow up, find a point of convergence, and keep the bottom line of love, which is the way to true happiness!
