The story is set off by a midlife crisis, a topic of perpetual fascination among the American middle class. The middle-aged Catherine has everything, such as a booming career, a "loving" and attractive husband, and a smart and handsome son, but she can't avoid falling into the quagmire of life. She can't face her aging face, while her husband's charm grows with the years; a rebellious teenage son announces his growth with indifference to Catherine; life feels suffocating and breeds self-doubt. This disbelief spread to distrust of the people around her, so Catherine hired Chloe to seduce her husband to test her loyalty to her. Catherine and Chloe's entanglement starts with a ridiculously deformed reason.
Even though it is a bad relationship, Chloe's love is sincere and pure, and even at the beginning I doubted such sincerity and purity, because it is difficult for you to believe that an individual like Chloe would be associated with these four words.
She loves Catherine. Although I don't know how she fell in love with her. Maybe just like Catherine from time to time looking at Chloe from the window of her office, who shuttles between all kinds of men, Chloe quietly observes Catherine, and then falls in love with her at a certain moment. But what did she love about Catherine? Maybe it's the mature femininity that Catherine exudes, maybe Chloe has an Oedipal complex, maybe love itself doesn't need a reason. Chloe fell in love, and God gave her an absurd opportunity to get close to the goddess Catherine in her heart, so she took a step by step, carefully organized, and slowly separated Catherine and her husband.
In the beginning, Chloe only told us that she had demagogic beauty; in the beginning, she deceived Catherine and made up enough details to convince Catherine to believe that her husband betrayed her; in the beginning, Chloe also Deceived us into telling us that she and Catherine had a hire-to-be-hire pecuniary relationship. When the story slowly progresses to the climax of betrayal, we suddenly realize that everything Chloe does is actually to have Catherine, body and heart. So we suddenly realized that she loved her little bit of evidence, panickingly remembered that when Chloe first met Catherine, she insisted on giving her the hairpin that her mother had left for her; remembered her infatuated eyes when she saw Catherine; Recalling what she said to Catherine, "I always have the ability to find out what's cute in everyone, and then God will give me a surprise, such as letting someone like you come into my life".
She kissed her when Catherine showed vulnerability in her presence. She seduces Catherine, sleeps with her, and naively thinks Catherine feels how she feels about her. She went to Catherine and said to her "It's real, can't you feel it?". Yes, her feelings for Catherine were real, and Catherine must have felt the long-lost feeling in her love affair with her. feeling of love. But what does this mean? Chloe, you are very smart, you know how to master people's hearts and use your own charm to realize your desires. But in love you are too pure. You know, love doesn't come true if it feels real. Your authenticity makes Catherine smell danger. After all, you are not from the same world, and the pure Catherine you seek cannot give you. What she wants is definitely not what you can provide.
The story ends with Chloe's death. The scene where she died reminded me of the beautiful boy who fell from the roof in Yuki Kaori's "Madame Butterfly". Their reasons for ending their own lives are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Maybe we live too falsely and have forgotten what it is like to be true to our heart. When we see the truth, we feel dazzling, abrupt, and incomprehensible; we have forgotten the feeling, mood, and thought after falling in love with someone .
The ending song plays. The giant flowers and vines in the botanical garden are entangled with each other, and the camera slowly moves forward, making people indulge in a glass of poisonous wine called Chloe.
PS: Amanda Seyfried, the blond beauty in the American youth school drama who was in the "Mean Girls" with her bosom catching the ball with agility, and who can't even fight Orange during the exam, has grown into today's Chloe . Whether it is appearance or acting, they are all amazing.
