choice problem

Both IMBD and rotten tomatoes rated this film as 5.9/10 and 34% respectively. The score is really low, but I really like this work. It is also another work I like very much after "ghost" by demi moore. Adrian Lyne challenged the moral bottom line again after "fatal attraction", and this one is really worth thinking about.

How would you choose if someone bought your wife's one-night dinner for $1 million? David's choice was to have his lawyer handle it for him because they really needed the money. Today, $1 million is definitely not a small amount, let alone in the early 1990s? Was it the lure of money or the circumstances that made him have no choice? why not both?

But what do you do when all the money is given, but the problem cannot be solved, and another problem arises? In the middle of the movie, they have money but it's too late, and the man keeps doubting his wife. Is this because he doesn't love enough or is he just having an inferiority complex? why not both?

In the end, the wife decided to try to be with the rich man, and the marriage decided to leave, but when they finally met, they looked at each other affectionately, because he finally used some money to buy that hippo, or she did Knowing that she still loves her husband the most? why not both?

I like the ending very much, John's decision is the real love, he knew why Diana suddenly called to stop, he knew it was time to say goodbye, he knew that the woman in front of him would never look at him that way, so he put Whether that coin is given to her as a souvenir or a gift to bless her, it is to fulfill the person she loves, she is happy so I am happy, noble sentiments, noble love, do not need to have, just ask for blessings.

    If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never yours...

Indecent Proposal quotes

  • David: [while playing pool] I guess there's limits to what money can buy.

    John: Not many.

    Diana: Well some things aren't for sale.

    John: Such as?

    Diana: Well you can't buy people.

    John: That's naive, Diana. I buy people every day.

    Diana: In business, maybe, but you can't buy people not when real emotions are involved.

    John: So you're saying you can't buy love? That's a bit of a cliché don't you think?

    Diana: It's absolutely true.

    John: Is it? What do you think?

    David: I agree with Diana.

    John: You do? Well let's test the cliché. Suppose... I were to offer you one million dollars for one night with your wife.

    David: I'd assume you're kidding.

    John: Let's pretend I'm not. What would you say?

    Diana: He'd tell you to go to hell.

    John: I didn't hear him.

    David: I'd tell you to go to hell.

    John: That's a reflex answer because you view the question as hypothetical. But let's say that there was real money backing it up. I'm not kidding. A million dollars. The night would come and go but the money could last a lifetime. Think of it. A million dollars. A lifetime of security... for one night. Don't answer right away. Just consider it; seriously?

    David: We're positive, okay?

    John: Well then you've proved your point. There are limits to what money can buy. It's late, and I hate to admit it, but I have meetings in the morning. May I have one dance? With your permission.

    David: You know something? I think you better hurry on to that meeting. You don't want to miss out on your next billion.

    John: Understood. I wouldn't part with her either. Good night.

  • Diana: Somethings are not for sale.

    John: Such as?

    Diana: Well you can't buy people.
