This is an extremely delicate romance film about extramarital affairs.
Many women will meet the grit of love after marriage, and be tortured by it to tears and tears. This coarse sand may have come unintentionally, but because of a gust of wind, a train, an inadvertent encounter, it was just a coincidence, but then there was raging love. "This kind of love comes suddenly, like a storm falling from the sky, entrained in lightning, turning the bottom of life, scraping away the will like leaves, and throwing the whole heart into the abyss."
With him, everything is bright and colorful, shining brightly. Brilliant. Life is full of fun, life is so beautiful and splendid. Every Thursday when we meet is like a happy time bestowed by God. The other six days of the week are all overshadowed. Without him, eating will not be good, movies will not look good, and interesting people will become boring or even pitiful. Everything is bleak, everything is meaningless. Without him, the world is still the same, but without him, she seems to have lost the whole world.
The love between the two is like the screaming train leaving the platform, spreading its teeth and dancing its claws, spewing thick smoke, bringing up a gust of wind, and shaking the whole world.
However, perhaps as in "Mrs. Bovary," she will experience all the boringness of married life in the derailment.
Therefore, perhaps the heartbreaking cut-off in the film is the best solution.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the film in the novel, this film uses the narrative method of Sura’s speechless confession to her husband to explain the entire process of extramarital affairs, and it is undoubtedly successful. Sula’s self-report in the movie portrays a woman struggling between love and morality, family, maternal love, and responsibility so vividly. It can be said to be very soft, and her complex and contradictory psychological struggles are comparable to those in "Red and Black". The trajectory of Mrs. Rena's psychological struggle.
In the end of the film, the husband discovers and understands Sura's psychological derailment. The whole film ends with the husband’s sentence "Thank you for coming back to me", which can be described as affectionate and grateful. Thanks to Sura, reason defeated emotion, abandoned selfish love, and saved two families. Thank God for giving this most beautiful feeling in the world.
Love does not have to stay together forever, if it is true love, it will be immortal.

    Too accurate. I didn't think such violent things could happen to ordinary people.

    A woman's inner monologue, the director's portrayal is very delicate. Although in my eyes, this is not a regrettable love affair, but more of an emotional sustenance for a lonely woman with some nervousness. Maybe she had met Alec earlier, she would still be at the same train station at the same time period and had to say goodbye to another man.
