Dangerous Stripper

This film evokes memories of "Kramer vs. Kramer," especially the child involved. Transforming an ethical lesson into a thriller is far more sophisticated than typical dramas filled with infidelity and petty squabbles. Ending with physical harm, even death, presents the most devastating consequence. The film effectively deters married men from casual affairs, while the extreme portrayal of the mistress diverts our attention, somewhat diminishing our condemnation of the irresponsible male lead.

A thrilling tale of a family haunted by a woman with psychological issues. For married men, an out-of-control affair is truly a nightmare. The last 10 minutes are a genuine climax, absolutely breathtaking.

"Spinning out of control into infidelity is a total nightmare." Seriously, for guys and girls alike, just thinking about the mountain of trouble that comes with cheating is usually enough to shut that idea down real quick. If you're married and *still* willing to risk the chaos? You've earned my respect, you crazy diamond! And about those comments calling the other woman an "old hag" – she's only 36! *Only* 36 and already labeled "old"? Ouch, my heart aches for us all.

"Nine and a Half Weeks" has its honey, its ice cubes, its blindfolds. "Fatal Attraction" gets steamy by the kitchen sink and takes the elevator for a ride. Future boyfriends, please take notes from every single Adrian Lyne film. You're welcome in advance.

From today's perspective, Glenn Close's character is entirely a victim of a patriarchal society. As a woman with a career, she still begs for male love and fails to obtain it, being portrayed as an intruder and disruptor of male family life. The wife can accept the cheating man back into family life and is also the one who ultimately eliminates the threat of the third party. The wife (the character with the moral high ground) as a victim of family life is actually also a defender of a patriarchal society.
