Spring Fever (2009)

first off any movie from china - with Chinese actors (cause of the censorship) needs to be applauded as it aint easy - cause this was far from P.G (it wasn't pornographic - but it was erotic and there were a ton of male on male sex scenes, which is a no no in china). but having said that this was interesting if a bit confusing -

yeah the movie starts off with the cheater and his lover, off to their secluded get-away. after which the investigator meets up with the wife to show her all the evidence... and then i was left bewildered - why she did nothing other then order him to keep following her hubby. i don't get why latch onto a person who has no respect for u, or the commitment he made to u? there a shortage of men in china ? cause last i heard its the other way round - there is a shortage of females, so why?? and get - some will say love - but how blind can love be - when u see the person u love, in-bed with someone else - love can survive that - is that even love? don't get it.
acting like nothing is wrong while getting a third party to investigate ur spouse, and then seeing what they get up to behind ur back¯\_(*_*)_/¯ considering how things were going, i doubt she would've ever opened her mouth, if her husband didn't stumble across the evidence in her cell - ironically losing it, for invading his privacy

u can understand the husband if u want, cause of how hard it is in many countries to be out and proud - but i can't forgive his not only using her as a beard but then trying to bring his bf closer to home, by befriending his wife so she will be more accepting of his new "friend" basically not even caring that he is insulting her or the relationship he has with her - but all is fair cause he can't be out and proud?!? and then when he finds out that she knows, he not only goes on the defensive but he slaps her - psssh that would be game over for me i would murder the f*cker - but she is still that desperate to keep him, that she wont attack or leave him - going so far as to target his lover - shaming him at his work-place. smart move cause then Jiang doesn't want anything to do with his married lover. which is sad for the husband who genuinely loves him and is kinda lost without him (not that watching this too the end i doubt Jiang didn't love him back) just a messed-up situation that should've been dealt with in a different way - like talking and working things out even being open with the wife - and just putting his foot down and asking for a divorce - not easy but better then what happened.
anyhoo Luo Hai the investigator decides to keep following Jiang, after watching his client creating havoc in Jiang office - getting curiouser the more he sees of Jiang throughout the night - the more he wants to know -

on the other hand we got the mysterious Li Jing - like seriously - until the end of the movie didn't get what was up with this female. she was Luo Hai's gf - but then she had a weird suspect relationship with the boss of the sweatshop where she worked, where he kept not only looking out for her at work, but taking her out for food and putting money into her bag - and then there is the whole mess where the cops bust the sweatshop and take him in. she's so desperate she goes to an acquaintance of his for help and then basically offers herself, so he will help get her boss out of jail - lets say the relationship between Li Jing and Luo Hai isn't binding in the least, they see each other when they want - but seem to live separate lives, together then not - then i donno - just weird and off - add to the mix Luo Hai bi curious side awakening, befriending Jiang - but with the amount of flirting going on, both knew they would end up in bed together -

there is a lot going on - it makes sense - but confused as to why/where Li Jing vanishes - breaking the guys apart - and get the wife (who's pregnant when we see her again) attaching Jiang, easier to blame him for her husbands choice then cursing a dead person - u can't vent ur anger like that - but how she walk away scot-free after what she does? even why doesn't Jiang go after Luo Hai... donno left kinda wanting - but it is what it is - sad and interesting watch
