Today we will talk about the movie "Secret Den".

The title of the film The Nest (2020), alias Jinwo Hailang (Taiwan) / Dangerous House / Broken Homecoming.

The title of the film "Secret Den" is very tempting, and at first glance I thought it was a spy war theme movie. After reading it, I know that this is an elegy for the failure of class leaping.

However, the translation of "Broken Homecoming" is more in line with the original temperament of the film, and the title directly brings out the sense of vicissitudes and frustration of Falling Leaves.

The film starring Jude Law and Carrie Coon, they play a couple Rory O'Hara and Alison O'Hara (Allison) O'Hara).

The Rory family originally lived in the American suburbs and had their own big house and large farm. After earning a pot of gold, Rory wants to take his family back to his hometown in England to explore the business opportunities in his hometown, and by the way, he can return to his hometown.

After returning to England, Rory bought a Norwegian-style manor, built a racetrack for his wife, and enrolled his children in an aristocratic school. At the same time, he found his old owner and started looking for opportunities for cash.

The sky is not as good as the people. Things did not proceed according to Rory's best plan. The unexpected situation happened one after another.

Rory soon faced the dilemma of a broken link in the funding chain. Alison was deeply saddened by the death of a horse lover. His daughter Sam (Sam) made a large group of friends, and his son Ben (Ben) was bullied by senior students at school.

The whole family fell towards the abyss of collapse...

The time background of the film is set in the 1980s.

In the film, looking out from Arthur's office, you can see St Paul's Cathedral in London. In the 1980s, the only building that provided this kind of perspective was the National Tower of Westminster (Nat West), now known as Tower 42, which was the tallest building in London at the time and a prestigious commercial building. address. This position was confirmed when the unique front of the building was glimpsed from Arthur's office, and when Rory passed the Royal Exchange, the camera was tilted and focused on the building.

Similarly, when Sam was about to go to school, she was listening to the radio playing "Hold Me Now" by The Thompson Twins released in 1984. The song "These Dreams" released in 1985 also appeared in the movie.

This couple can be regarded as a typical couple who can share happiness but cannot share suffering.

When Rory still has sufficient cash flow, everything is easy to say. Rory can deal with the business with great lavishness, Alison can also ride horses and horses easily and comfortably, and the children are also lovely and sensible.

When the cash flow is disconnected, everything that was not a problem becomes a problem.

Rory thought he would return to his hometown, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and glorify his ancestors. He also found a mother who had not been in touch for many years, hoping to let her see what he has achieved today.

But the old mother was not willing to accept her son's reconciliation, and the old woman still lived alone in her small apartment.

Rory's personal experience shows that ordinary people still seldom dream of class leaping.

His boss can confuse Rory's long-cherished business acquisitions and disrupt all of Rory's plans with just a few minor tricks.

Rory thought that he had everything for the house ticket, but it ended up being empty.

Rory's desperate deal was stopped by the boss, but he had already overdrawn a large amount of future funds in advance, which disrupted all his arrangements and directly pierced his dream of class crossing.

His wife Alison even needs to spend his private money to subsidize the family. Originally, Alison only got up until she slept in the sun and basked in the sun. In addition to the sudden death of her love horse, the huge gap made Alison even more irritable. She expressed her dissatisfaction by dismantling her husband, which made her unsatisfactory life even worse.

Sincerely know that this hate everyone has, poor couples are all sad.

Without the luxury of money to sustain their lives, the lives of the O'Hara family have taken a sharp turn.

Rory attacked Alison's most beloved horse, causing her to pierce her heart, while Alison disturbed Rory's business and embarrassed him again and again. The couple specifically picked each other's fate, and kept hurting each other before hurting themselves.

Less daydreaming,

Beware of the person next to the pillow.
