Because in this society, each of us is very fragile, and some people are especially so.
We are all particularly afraid of knowing the truth, but we have a gossip in our hearts. The most thrilling thing about this play is that in this game, you don't know what secrets will come out in the next second, how it will end, and what the ending is.
As the main line of the movie Eclipse suggests, the director seems to see this dark side of society, and the dark side of adults seems to tell us that this society is not black and white, and there are some skeletons in the closet.
The background of this film is an eclipse night, and seven good friends meet for dinner. Three of them are married and have a male friend (gay).
The characters in the film are well arranged, and the three couples correspond to three different stages of marriage. They face different problems, but they all hide their secrets.
The first couple, Cosimo and Bianca, just got married and are going to have children.
The second couple, Lehrer and carlotta, have two children, a man and a woman, and their children are five or six years old. Their marriage is in an embarrassing stage of seven-year itch, and it is difficult to find the same picture before dinner.
The third couple, Rocco and Ava, are the hosts of the party. Their daughter 18 years old is in adolescence. At this stage, husband and wife generally already exist as relatives.
The fuse that set off the secret was that the hostess proposed a game, "open mobile phone", that is, during their dinner, all text messages, emails and phone calls were made public, and they came to share it because they insisted that they had "no secrets".
Rocco, the male owner, was the first person to object. In fact, it was gradually explained that he was not only a person with no secrets, but also a person who saw through "the relationship between people is fragile" but did not find it.
But as soon as this game is put forward, people who strongly refuse will doubt it, indicating that there is really a secret hidden. But if you participate in this game, almost everyone knows that some secrets that you dare not hide will be spread on the table.
The moment everyone spread their mobile phones on the table, the audience knew that they were about to witness a private feast.
Bianca is a very honest girl in the movie, with her eyes down and her head always slightly lowered, and she respects her husband very much. She met her husband's friends and changed 20 clothes in the evening. She doesn't like to give up her principles because of her husband's various dislikes. Even though she suspected that Cosimo was cheating on her in front of everyone, she defended her husband in all aspects. Even though she felt that her husband didn't like his boss because he had big breasts and tattoos, she didn't know that Cosimo's other lover Ava was. In marriage, we can see that Bianca is a woman who is extremely insecure and doesn't know her husband.
The second time Cosimo called, a friend called to ask if earrings and rings were suitable. But in fact, he only gave Bianca the ring, and the earrings were given to his friend's wife Ava (the hostess). Bianca immediately asked, "Did you sell it to Gina Rafe?" "Did you sleep with her?"
Only the passive party in marriage will always become suspicious and fearful when they find a little clue.
Then, Cosimo's third call came, commonly known as Cosimo's boss, but this time Cosimo obviously panicked and didn't want to answer the phone. The woman's third sense forced Bianca to grab the phone and turn it on.
Eva immediately took Cosimola to her room after hearing the call, took off the earrings he sent and spat at him.
What Bianca said to carlotta while hiding in the toilet reflects how far a woman can retreat when she loves a man. I never believed in marriage, but I didn't want children, but I changed my mind for a man. If this is not humble love, what is it?
Because I love you and I respect your friends.
Because I love you, I try to blend in with your circle.
Because I love you, I broke my social life.
I want to get married because I love you.
I want children because I love you.
I'm sorry if this is the weapon you used to hurt me. I can turn away and stop this love.
I think, in the end, Bianca put lipstick on the toilet, tied her hair and walked out confidently, leaving her ring. At that moment, she was the real her. She didn't become humble because she loved someone. She had the courage to love, and she turned away at any time freely.
Let's talk about their secret with the secret of pepper.
Although carlotta and Lehrer have been married for many years, their love has been exhausted because of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the support of the elderly and the disappearance of passion, which basically belongs to a state of name only.
When he started playing this game, Lehrer was already in a panic. Because every night until ten o'clock, a junior high school girl will send him a selfie. In order not to be in front of everyone, perhaps to maintain this marriage, he begged Pep to change his mobile phone with him. Unexpectedly, changing Pep was a secret of homosexuality and was attacked by everyone.
After carlotta knew that her husband was gay, he went from expecting an explanation to not accepting it, and finally he could hardly face it. In fact, carlotta is also innocent, because the mobile phone belongs to Pep, and so do homosexuals. However, because he changed his mobile phone, carlotta thought he was gay.
In this scene, not only carlotta is angry, but even his friends are angry that he is gay. It turns out that this society's tolerance for homosexuality is really weak, even his good friends can't accept the fact that he is gay, so this is also the reason why Pepper has been reluctant to bring a boyfriend, because in just half an hour when Lehrer replaced homosexuality, he was attacked by all kinds of strange eyes and words.
Pepper hid the fact that he was gay, so he was expelled from the university, so he had different opinions on discussing children. In the end, I was moved by what Pepper said.
"But because I know that as soon as we meet, he will be hurt by your strange eyes.
I don't want him to get hurt. I want to protect him.
Because if you love someone deeply, you will stop bullets all over the world for him. "
When Bianca learned that her husband had a child with another woman behind her back, Pepe hid the secret of homosexuality. Before she left, she said to Pepe, "You were right not to bring him tonight. Protect him well. "
Although Lehrer is not gay, he has taken the blame for homosexuality and cannot change the fact that he plays selfies with girls every night. On the other hand, carlotta maintains a relationship with Lehrer because of responsibility and guilt, and plays a game of guessing each other's underwear with married men online.
The couple each played an affair game, all because carlotta finally revealed another secret. It turned out that she hit someone with her car, but Lehrer carried the pot for her children, and their feelings were not allowed to divorce because of this connection.
If love is only maintained by kindness, guilt and responsibility, should it be divided or continued?
Ava is a psychologist, but she can't handle the relationship between herself and her daughter's husband. At the beginning of the story, Ava had a big fight with her daughter because she opened her daughter's bag and found condoms in it, but she didn't know that her daughter had this idea. The condom was also given to her by her father Rocco. But Ava always lives in a world that loves herself, hoping to maintain such a relationship with her husband and daughter without any effort. She is a failed wife and a failed mother.
Although he had guessed that his wife was having an affair, he worked hard for their marriage. Even though I didn't trust the psychiatrist, I secretly went to see the psychiatrist behind Ava's back.
When his secret was discovered, he said this:
When his daughter was not sure whether to spend the night at her boyfriend's house and called her father for advice, his composure, stability and tolerance were reflected in a phone call.
From our daughter's phone call, we also know that her daughter may have known the fact that her mother was cheating. So I said, "You love her so much that you don't know how cheap she is."
Ava is the only person here who cheated but didn't reveal the secret.
Rocco is a man who knows many secrets but doesn't reveal them.
This kind of forbearing love, those who see through but don't poke, try their best to maintain it without pursuing it face to face.
The film adopts the ending of parallel space. After the dinner, everyone returned to the ending before the game started. As usual, they returned to life with their secrets.
Ava continues to send explicit text messages to Cosimo, Cosimo continues to sleep with her boss, carlotta continues to play sex games with netizens, Lehrer continues to exchange photos with junior high school girls, and Pepe continues to hide her gay secrets. On the other hand, Rocco broke his wife's infidelity without tearing her face.
Maybe this is the end of the real society. Because "the relationship between people is fragile", everyone can't stand scrutiny.
And I prefer the ending after the secret is revealed. No matter how ugly the truth is and how bloody the truth is, at least we can start all over again.
In the face of husband's infidelity, we can have the courage to put down the ring and turn around and leave.
In the face of a marriage in name only, you don't have to rely on guilt and responsibility to maintain it.
In the face of husband's love for himself, we can work hard for each other.
In the face of unusual sexual orientation, I can generously admit that I stopped the bullets all over the world for TA.
