The protagonist of the film is a woman in her 20s who has been married for a few years, at an age when her years are passing away and she is anxious and worried. In the story, this woman named Margot begins an immoral, but can also be called a beautiful extramarital affair. For such characters and choices, the director of the film, Sarah Polley, who is also a woman, has very real feelings. She said: "Since we were little girls, we have been listening to fairy tales, in which princesses and princes lived happily together after overcoming all kinds of difficulties. I believed such plots at the time, but until I grew up and realized that's not the case. Like Margot in the movie, she realized that life is not a story, much less a fairy tale. If you're lucky enough to have a great relationship, then love in your life gone, and then you find yourself in the wrong situation, where longings, desires and all kinds of love needs are not being met, and life becomes complicated and dangerous, what do you do. So when you encounter A wrong relationship and infidelity are almost inevitable when it comes to a heart-pounding person."
Since the story in the film is not moral, and there is a sense of desperation to seize the tail of youth, what is Sarah Polley to do with the texture of the film? She wisely chose the mood of sadness, grace and joy to tell this story story. The title of the film "Take This Waltz" comes from a sad song, and in the film, Sarah Polley restores the texture of the song almost perfectly. Sarah Polley said: "This Cohen song has a very sad melody and lyrics, and it has a very rich romantic element. His lyrics are written so obscurely that it is almost impossible to really understand it. The song creates a perfect emotional atmosphere. I have been listening to this song over and over while writing the script, hoping that my script will match the key of the song. Although there are certain comedy, but overall it's sad. I think we all live in the same culture where when there's a little bit of a problem in a relationship, we always try to fix it It. We were told to remedy the cracks in the relationship without being trained to actually remedy it. So all sorts of thoughts of escaping came up. And the awkward age and mentality made it even more of a problem. motivation for behavior.”
