Sylvia

I watched the movie 'Sylvia' half way through the end and this movie is about a poetress who married a poet and after having two kids together, her husband had an affair with another poet's wife. They got to know each other when Sylvia and her husband sold their apartment to them. And since they have some thing in common, Sylvia offered her friendship to them.

Sylvia always known of her husband flirtatious behaviour and she's always knew in her heart that her husband will have an affair sooner or later and that really upset her. After they settled in their country home and after Sylvia gave birth to her second child, Her Poet friend and his wife came over to visit them for the weekend.

I'm not sure if she were happy to receive them but when they arrived, she realised that her hubby is giving special attention to his friend's wife and Sylvia is annoyed. The signs became so obvious at the dinner table and she could not control her feelings anymore and shown her disagreement infront of her guests which makes them very uncomfortable.

After dinner, all four of them were listening to the radio and soon after her husband got up and went into the kitchen to do some cleaning up and immediately his poet friend's wife join him. Sylvia watched them for a moment and she was so sure that there's something going on between them and without a second thought she confronted them.Her husband denied her accusation and told Sylvia that she was just telling him about her dream. Sylvia still unhappy turned to her poet friend and order him to leave her house first thing in the morning.

After that incident, her husband went away for a couple of days. Sylvia saw her husband drove off and she went into the house straight to his study table. There she found some letters and also pictures of him with his mistress. With anger and sadness all inside her, she tore all his works and photographs and burnt them.

When he got back from his passioante trip, Sylvia told him that she found out the truth and asked him to leave. Sylvia went back to live in london with her two children, she channelled her sadness to her work when she realised that she's lonely and needed a companion. Her friend told her to forgive her husband and accept him back to her life and so she did.

She invited her husband over and for some reasons they made love and she tried to convienced her husband to leave his mistress and live happily as a family and pretend that all these did not happened. She was shocked when he said that he can't leave her because she's pregnant and Sylvia was speechless!!

On the same night, she decided that she had enough of misery and wanted to end her life. She made breakfast for her children for the last time, kissed them good night and said that she love them. Before she leave the room, she opened up the window and after she closed the door behind her, she sealed them with tapes. She went to the kitchen, turn on the stoves and closed the kitchen door.

It's really sad to see a woman suffer because of a man she loved. And that ungrateful man, didn't appreciate her at all. When her husband saw her dead body and he began to cry and kissed her forehead. This act is simply disgusting, he should not have cried for her because he never felt for her and he only thinks of himself.

People should die happy not sad. If this kind of thing happen to you, all you have to do is move on and be happy of what you got. Be successful and be better than the person who betray you and do hope to find someone better than him.
