Take This Waltz (2012)

This movie is about fake love ... and how you could deceive yourself by love while your actual feeling us love .... And how the passion could be lost in a long term relationship.She had an ordinary life with her husband ... nothing new .... and she met with this handsome man with even a strange job who lived beside her. First she met with him to put something new in her life and put some adventures in her ordinary life.. but step by step her adventure turned into passion and then lust... ( look to the strange and inappropriate request in the restaurant). Of course this helped by the cold emotion of her husband.And he also felt with lust to her ..look to what happened ..when she ran from her husband to his lap .. he sinked first in the juice of pleasure and lust ... but when they felt that the lust was going away.... she brought a woman ... and he brought a man .... to spice things up.... but at the end they reached to the same life .... monotonous ordinary life... even she went to the swing alone...You feel her regret in the movie .. and to lesser extent his regret. Especially when she came back to her first husband and met again with his family... she missed him and the company of his family . And to be a part of his achievements and to find he was working for previously their dreams.Good casting ... with so.e questions about Seth Rogan Michelle Williams was brilliant

In Take This Waltz, a young wife—Margot (Nichelle Williams) is forced into a moral dilemma. She must choose between remaining in her staid and predictable marriage to Lou (Seth Rogen), a bland fellow who lacks a communicative spark, or going outside her marriage for the allure of the silver tongued Daniel (Luke Kirby), who lives across the street. Luke is aware of her desire for meaningful repartee and begins a slow, but subtle seduction, played out skillfully by writer/director Sarah Polley. Because Lou is more attentive to his work as a chef, rather than his marriage, the viewer ponders whether Margot makes the right decision by exploring what Daniel has to offer. Conflict arises as her quandary centers on the conflict between remaining devoted to her husband Lou, an aspiring cook and author, and fulfilling her need for personal growth and mental stimulation. The opposing view, presented by Margot's alcoholic sister-in-law Geraldine (Sarah Silverman, in a noteworthy performance) is that Margot has a duty to eschew temptation. "You think everything can be worked out if you just make the right move? That must be thrilling," Geraldine warns. "Life has a gap in it. It just does. You don't go crazy trying to fill it like some lunatic."Daniel is artistic, a rapscallion with a poet's heart. During their first conversation she is able to reveal her vulnerabilities. With such revelation comes unspoken intimacy, and initially Margot tries to put a lid on her feelings. However, Daniel represents something new, the possibility of escaping a relationship of ennui, like so many of her friends.While Margot loves her husband, and while he professes his love for her, something is missing. Margot is not secretive about how she feels, and on the night the two celebrate their anniversary, Margot trieds to get Lou to converse with her. After an awkward silence, Lou admits that he doesn't see the allure of talking for talking's sake. His words sting, but Margot toughs it out through the dinner; but does that mean she has to do the same with her mundane marriage? Daniel articulates his feelings for Margot in a poetic, but x0rated manner, which blows her away and is more than Lou will even attempt. At that moment she discovers Daniel can give her what Lou cannot, but can it be prolonged? Driven by a need to create her own happiness without hurting her husband, Margot navigates a fine line between flirting and cheating. She makes another attempt to express her feelings to Lou, but he is befuddled by her request, and asks and boils his life down into one sentence: "I'm just making chicken." Margot replies, "You're always just making chicken."Margot's decision is an emotional one rather than moral. It pleases her to see that Lou has launched a successful career as a cookbook author, but her relationship with Daniel hits a lull, symbolized by a telling bathroom scene and the use of Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club's Video Killed the Radio Star.Still, Margot is happy for having stepped outside her drab life with Lou to experience new pleasures with Daniel. In the end, she discovers the truth in her friend's words, "even new things get old." If one defines wisdom as the ability to decide what is the best decision and then acting accordingly, then Margot makes the wise and correct decision, damn the consequences.

As you can see the synopsis here is written in only one phrase. The movie lasts for almost two hours. For such a small subject the entire flick is too slow and boring. Yes the action is nice but why show the same scenes again and again? In lack of something else you deliver the same repeated action. Seth Rogen is inappropriate for his role, he looks like a geek who doesn't belong there. The role of the spouse was better acted. Also the part of the lover was again weird, because the guy looks like he is gay. Of course there is some nudity in it but not in a vulgar way so that's good, you don't see this in other movies.I remain to my point that is too long, it could be made easily in 70 or 80 minutes not 120. Give it a chance and I wish you good luck not too fall asleep.

I've seen too many of these films about unreal pseudo artistic people who live in an unreal world without groceries, kids, mortgages, traffic (none on their street) and are incredibly selfish. Margot at first seems like she might be dull but nice... But ten we find out her head is truly totally up her own business. Although she has a good life she chooses to disrespect what she has and prefers to indulge a fantasy and a cliché. But the cliché character of the alluring other.. ( a bohemian "artist" no less ) is a fantasy character. He exists to serve the story but isn't from anywhere and isn't going anywhere. None of the guys seem like real guys in this film. Margot doesn't appear to notice that the guy is simply Floating through life. He has a pretty impressive apartment for an underemployed pedicab driver and access to some other huge premises but no real job ( sorry rickshaw is a kid's job in the West) and the character isn't much beyond a fairy tale prince.Real people like that are usually screwed up, criminals or druggies, which is why they have marginal jobs, but we are supposed to see this guy as Romeo. The other characters appear as two dimensional, all about the same age and fairly cute. There aren't many real people here with an existence that seems credible. .The line " new things are shiny" says it all. This about seeing a brass ring and grabbing it. Novelty as a value. Fine for a teen, but not when you are a certain age or in a different status in life. The Characters are mostly childish people seeking new toys. In that pursuit anything can be dispensed with. at the pool marriage is discussed as if it's nothing at all and commitments are simply convention. And the film acts like this is true which is why it fails. . Real people have real lives not these superficial,foppish selfish indulgent faux lives. Margot is all about Margot and her desires and wants. Her husband is, ultimately, an incredible wimp who appears to be okay With things that a real man would be angry about. Two dimensions at most. . And rickshaw boy is a 35 year old teenager haunting the margins looking for ..what? Sex? If you rewrite this in your head with everyone being 14 years old then the silliness, shallowness of the relationships and fake lives, sexual self indulgence and promotion of instant gratification over commitment make perfect sense.
