great director and great acting

An old man and a young man.
There is also a betrayal wife in the middle.
One of the two men is gay.
It doesn't get any more nuanced than this.
However, the entire story takes place between two men and inside a building.
Old men lose their wives, young men get betrayed wives.
The old man teased the young man.
The young man made fun of the old man again in revenge.
In this one accidentally discovered the old man's secret. Old men kill young men.
The insignificant wife was on her way by car.

This is a completely man's world, and even though the woman who is the agent often appears in the discussion here, she is always just a tool for the contest between men.

Sadness, ecstasy, lies, temptation, cover-up...

The battle between people is really wonderful.

    If seeing Brad Pitt a few years ago reminds me of Robert Redford, then in the UK, Jude Law also reminds me of Michael Caine. He is also an elegant English man. Of course, to me Jude Law pays more attention to beauty, Grandpa Caine pays more attention to temperament... In addition to this film's director Uncle Kenneth Branagh (he was a classically beautiful uncle, now he's older and looks a bit like a little old man), when I see him, I think of the British The senior Laurence Olivier... This group of British temperament men made a movie that can be said to be exciting or boring.

    This is a war about two men. A frustrated actor becomes a part-time hair stylist (played by Jude Law), and as a marriage breaker, he intervenes in the marriage of a popular novelist (played by Michael Caine), triggering a series of love revenge plots. The reaction of ordinary people at different stages of emotional change is invisible in a murder. In this high IQ crime involving confined spaces, who is holding the initiative?

Sleuth quotes

  • Andrew Wyke: I take a strictly moral position on all this. My wife is an adulteress. Actually, she should be stoned to death.

  • Andrew Wyke: Why should I give her a divorce if you're both walking away with 88 pounds?

    Milo Tindle: She wants a legal settlement. She wants part of your estate.

    Milo Tindle: Never trust in legal justice. You know what legal justice is? It's farting "Annie Laurie" through a keyhole.
