Closer

This movie is about love affairs between two couples. All the men and women in this movie have different personalities and attitude toward love. Besides the excellent plot, I regard the performers in this move are fascinating, too. The actors are Jude Law, Clive Owen and the actresses are Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman.
Beginning with Daniel and Alice occasionally meet each other on a street and then they fall in love. However after two years, the man has an extramarital relation with the other woman called Anna. By a trick Daniel made, Anna happens to meet her boyfriend called Larry. This complicated plot intrigues me a lot because this is definitely a bloody truth which is still happening in nowadays society.
My viewpoints will start from analyzing these people’s thoughts respectively. Daniel represents a man with a childish heart. He is tricky, romantic but without rationality. He has a long-dated girlfriend and he knows that he loves her so much. However, he still wants to capture Anna’s heart. This man is a typical bastard who does not care about other’s feeling but only wants to control all the circumstances. By the way, this role is performed by Jude Law which is somewhat matched to his real life. Because I read about his scandals that he just made lots of women pregnant.
Daniel’s girlfriend is called Alice. Actually, Alice is a stripper from the other country and her original name is Jane. I was confused why she deceived Daniel in the beginning. Then I realize that, after she found out herself in love with Daniel, she was not the original “Jane”. She is totally devoted herself when falling in love. This heroine is my favorite one in this movie, because she knows what she wants and concentrates on what she loves.
The other woman who Dan is in love with is called Anna. Anna is typical woman who does not know what she exactly wants. She follows her intuition and easily captivated. She hurt other people’s heart in an unconscious way. Most people will probably say Anna is so stupid because she does not know how to refuse others and also irresolute and hesitant all the time.
Anna’s boyfriend is called Larry who is so intelligence, crafty and knows human beings’ weakness. This man has a strong heart of vengeance. But some of his vengeance appears because he is deeply heart by someone else. Larry is hurt by Anna when Anna chooses Dan. Larry tries every possible means wanting Anna back to his side. One of those means includes perverted one. This pervert mean successfully ruins the relationship between Anna and Dan. At the end, he finally wins Anna back but the sarcastic fact is that he does not win Anna’s heart back. Is this kind of love affair is what he really wants? Or it is just what he wants to claim that he is the winner after all. This kind of man loves war, women and sex whom we can totally call them a bastard, too.
This movie successful creates four different kinds of people, not fictionally, but factually. This is why after I finished watching this movie; I would rather call Closer a scary movie. This movie throws a stunning bomb in my heart which I can not recover my pain injured deeply in my soul.
