I hate this movie
A movie promoting infidelity. Disgusting.
shareActually, it's a movie that shows a man overcoming and conquering temptation, and doing the right thing.
You have a filthy mind.
They were both kissing. So he didn't exactly overcome or conquer anything.
shareSo if a man is married he can't kiss any woman other than his wife?
shareHow would you feel if your spouse was kissing another person behind your back?
shareIt's a movie. Lighten up.
And how does telling a story in which something you disapprove of "promote" that thing? Yes, he kissed another woman behind his wife's back. Does that mean the film-makers are advocating that?
You talk about how you're a horror movie fan, and many of those movies are violent. Does that mean they're "promoting" violence?
Or are they just telling a story?
(hint: they're all just telling stories, and conflict is essential to any drama)
I repeat: lighten up.
First of all, who are you to tell me to "lighten up"? Second of all, this man didn't conquer or overcome anything. He cheated on his wife. You can't deny that. If this movie was really about being faithful and doing the right thing, then these two main characters wouldn't have kissed each other, when one of them is already married to someone else. That would just completely miss the point of the film.
shareFirst of all, who are you to tell me this movie promotes infidelity? You're being at least as dogmatic as I am.
Second of all, the man did conquer and overcome something. He stumbled but didn't fall. At the end of the movie, he goes to rejoin his wife, having made a mistake, but coming to realize he shouldn't pursue that path. He is redeemed. Or do you believe that one mistake condemns someone? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Third of all, if these two main characters hadn't have kissed each other, there wouldn't have been any point to the movie at all. I repeat: conflict of one sort or another is essential for any drama.
Fourth of all, I repeat again: it's just a movie, and a fairly frivolous one at that. The underlying message of it is NOT "it's okay to cheat on your wife".
You don't have to lighten up if you don't want to. Hold onto your hypocritical, moralistic, uptight views if they make you feel superior.
Just don't expect to gain any traction when you apply them to a 60-year-old piece of cinematic fluff, because doing so only shows what a blinkered Johnny One-Note you really are.
HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE BY KISSING ANOTHER WOMAN. That is the problem with this film. Maybe this would have been fine if he redeemed himself by telling his wife that he kissed another woman. But did he do that? NO. He may have chose to be with his wife in the end, but that still doesn't change the fact that he cheated on his wife. It's that simple. And that shouldn't be called a "mistake", it's a choice he made because he knew exactly what he was doing.
shareOkay, I give up.
At first I wanted to argue this rationally with you.
Then I became somewhat amused because you seemed to be taking it way too seriously, and I couldn't tell if you were trolling or just stupid, so I thought I'd string you along a little.
Now I'm just tired of the whole thing, and don't care anymore.
Feel free to have the last word in this whole ridiculous exchange, because I know that'll make you feel as though you've won the argument, and you need validation for your stupid opinions. Be sure to smugly tell your Sunday School friends how you stood up for your morals and rightly condemned this putrid, immoral film, and took Hollywood one step closer to providing wholesome entertainment that won't carry our country straight to hell in a handbasket.
You're an idiot.
How mature of you to call me an "idiot", even when I never insulted you at all. Yeah, that sure makes you the bigger person, right? Too bad it doesn't. It's funny how you can't seem to handle it when people prove you wrong. And how you think it's perfectly OK to cheat on your wife, as long as you stay with her in the end. That is what I find ridiculous and irrational. I don't care about "winning" an argument, I'm just here expressing my own thoughts on this movie, and those thoughts happen to be true. It's not my fault you have a problem with that.
shareYou're a moron. He did most certainly conquer his temptation to be unfaithful to his wife. A couple of short kisses are trivial compared to what might have happened, but didn't happen because he resisted. The movie is innocent, but if you are afraid that you are so weak it might lead you to infidelity, then you should definitely not watch it.
