Nothing to start over

Connie, who had just been lingering with her lover, returned home and happily soaked in the bathtub and recalled that Edward also entered the bathtub with red wine. When he approached Connie, Connie struggled, and then quickly fled, leaving only one. The blessed middle-aged man who was splashed with cold water could not get off the stage. Those fats seemed to collapse with his confidence and air at that moment, embarrassingly around his body, with nowhere to hide.

The suggestion from his subordinates reflected Edward’s constant anxiety. He went to find a private detective. They met on the side of the road. The wind was so strong that his trousers were wrinkled together. The upper body showed some disproportionate length. The ironed suit suddenly became funny. He slowly sat next to the detective and said with difficulty: I am not looking for you for official business this time... I want you to follow a person, my wife. I have looked for private detectives so many times, but this time it was such a humiliation.

Edward, who saw the photo of his wife and young lover Paul, was standing downstairs at Paul's house, hesitating to go up. When he finally stood in front of Paul, he was almost at a loss. He humblely asked questions like "How did you start with her?" "Does she like this place?" Paul seemed to answer without thinking, yes, she likes it. Here, because it is more interesting than the suburbs. This man who gave everything for the family almost collapsed: she liked the suburbs and we moved out of the city. She said that the suburbs are convenient for children to get education.


Richard Gere, who had never seen it before, so much so that when Edward sat beside Paul's messy bed, he saw the crystal ball he gave his wife with a secret card hidden here, and he was short of breath and was about to suffocate. At that time, I thought it was he deliberately pretending to attract Paul to him. Until, after smashing Paul to death with a crystal ball, he leaned in front of Paul very stupid, his entire face twisted in pain, and his hands kept moving back and forth with blood stains.

Although I don't want to accept it, I have to admit that Richard Gere interprets a small character so realistically.


To be honest, the story of "unfaithful" is not much new and uncomfortable, but it is very smooth and delicate. There is nothing that can be omitted, and there is nothing that is not clear. Especially the chapters after Edward killed Paul, which kept leading me to fork in the road. The direction of development made me worry and finally made me smile.

At the end of the film, Edward drove his family back from a party, passed a red light, and the car stopped. Connie, who had already learned the whole truth, told him, "We sold the house and left here, okay, go to Mexico," To start life again, we go fishing every day, and you play the guitar to coax me to sleep at night...

Everything can be over again, how good.

The camera is zoomed out, and the building next to the car has several English letters "POLICE" written on it. Edward said before that he was going to surrender.

I don’t know if I’m getting old, but I actually like the alertness of the film. It turns out that there is nothing to start over, so at the beginning, you must choose carefully.

In fact, although this Edward is not comparable to the fairy-tale Edward who can turn sparrows into phoenixes in "Pretty Beautiful Lady", he is really a rare good man in the real world-he has his own little boy. The company can also take care of the family, send his son to school, and help him with his homework. It has a little ambience. After 11 years of marriage, he will be excited about his wife’s sudden arrival in the company. Don't mind clothes bought at a discount. How do you still want a man? ?

Men don’t care about decency, decency is because of insufficient temptation; women do not care about loyalty, loyalty is because the bargaining chip for betrayal is too low.

In the colorful world, temptations are really endless, so let your bargaining chips be more advanced!

    (6.0/10) First of all, cuckolding a partner is a lot of money, whether it's real life or fiction (this month's selection is really bad, I've seen four or five cheating incidents). For more than an hour, Ryan was obsessed with almost pure animal instincts, and he didn't even plan to discover any social basis for the heroine's behavior. This was not pursued by some small film directors, and of course the filming was much better than those people. The sudden turn of events, accompanied by her husband's behavior, almost turned into a neuro-comedy. He may still want to emphasize the meaning of family, but unfortunately the arrangements for the couple are not very good.

    The film was nominated for Best Actress at the 75th Academy Awards. The first half is like Madame Bovary; the second half is nothing. But compared with Madame Bovary, the extramarital affair in the first half came inexplicably, and the murder in the second half came sloppy. This is a film that completely abandons morals and values.
