The Deep Blue Sea

I have to start off with telling you that the only reason I watched this movie is because I was having a Tom Hiddleston Movie Marathon this weekend, it didn't start on purpose, it just kinda happened. I will try my hardest not be biased in this post because I know this crush on Hiddleston will try and make me favor him in the movie.

So anyway, the two main characters are Freddie (Tom Hiddleston) and Hesta (Rachel Weisz). She is married to a judge but is having an affair with Freddie who was in WWII. Basically she leaves her husband who is boring and bland for a man with more fiery passion and seems more carefree. She falls in love with Freddie and her husband finds out and so she moves in with Freddie and for some reason which he is gone playing golf she tries to kill herself.

I don't completely understand why she tries to kill herself, maybe she just hates her life, I'm not entirely sure. Please help me understand. She was going to leave him a suicide note but after her attempt failed she tried to keep it hidden from him, he'd found it by accident of course. So he gets really upset because Hesta says that Freddie could never love her as much as she loves him and he doesn't want to get mixed up in this entire problem with the divorce and all. Everything's pretty complicated and sometimes I feel like I hate both Hesta and Freddie but then at the same time I feel sorry for both of them.

The problem is just that they are bad for each other. There's a line that Freddie says, it goes, "We're lethal to each other. You can't expect a bloke to go on after he's driven someone to suicide, much as he loves her." That line wrapped up a lot for me, helped me understand where Freddie was coming from. Their love is a messy one, it's all complicated and twisted which I honestly don't believe is what love should be like. The problem is part of me wanted them to stay together even after I knew they shouldn't be.

The movie as a whole was pretty good, it wasn't amazing, it was actually really slow. That's why I couldn't pay attention all the time, it was so quiet and slow and kinda bland sometimes. If you want to watch it for Tom then go ahead, if you want to watch it at all please do so but I didn't think it was great. And if you're not in the mood you'll probably just stop it after the first couple of scenes between Freddie and Hesta.

That's just my opinion, if you don't agree let me know. Plus it's like 12:30 in the morning and I am exhausted from school and basketball so who knows, my opinion might even change.
