回复 : 18世纪,朝鲜王朝贵族表面上仁义礼教,实则腐朽荒淫。贵公子赵元(裴勇俊 饰)风度翩翩,书画琴棋皆通,是情场中有名的风流浪子。赵元的堂姐赵夫人(李美淑 饰)表面上贤良淑德,内心却充满嫉妒与哀怨,并与赵元有着男女之情。赵夫人的丈夫即将迎娶少女素玉(李昭娟 饰)为妾,赵夫人暗中令赵元引诱素玉,在入门之前破坏她的贞洁,令自己的丈夫蒙羞。赵元对引诱少女并无兴趣,而是盯上了一位守寡九年、受到过皇室褒奖的贞洁女子——淑夫人(全度妍 饰)。赵夫人与赵元打赌,如果他能征服淑夫人这样恪守妇道的女人,就许以其床第之欢。赵元对堂姐垂涎久矣,因此想尽办法接近淑夫人,巧言令色向其诉说爱意,对任何男人都冷漠如冰的淑夫人逐渐不能自持……本片改编自法国18世纪小说家拉克洛用书信形式所写成的小说《危险关系》。
回复 :Tin Men is one of my favorite movies of all time. The thing that always strikes me whenever I watch this movie is that while the characters of Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito are seemingly feuding non-stop throughout the movie, in reality they are actually kindred spirits. It's like they see themselves in the other but don't really like what they see. Barbara Hershey is great as the haggard housewife who looks for something more fulfilling in her life. All the supporting cast is excellent. I love the diner dialog which is reminiscent of Barry Levinson's previous film "Diner." The background scenes of Baltimore landscape add to the realistic atmosphere of the movie. Overall, I think this movie is vastly underrated. I'd love to see a sequel with Dreyfuss and DeVito as partners in a VW dealership.
