The first thing that surprises you in a thriller Fair from Netflix is its obvious similarity to other films in which ambitious characters fight each other to win. It’s almost inevitable not to remember Oliver Stone’s 1987 Wall Street in its opening scenes.. In particular, those that make it clear that the relationship between Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) will become poisonous and cruel when she is put to the test of greed. But comparisons to the ’80s classic end when director Chloe Domont, making her feature debut, takes its characters and turns them into enemies.
Because it will not only achieve erotic tension that is surprising in its aggressiveness, but will also turn a feature film into a dirty battle. Fair Game is not a relationship drama, and it does not explore the reasons why the need for power destroys relationships. It’s a brutal, brutal and brilliant battle between half-truths, manipulation and traps. A confrontation that will reveal the worst sides of their characters, as well as their hidden abilities to persuade and push others into misfortune. Does this sound like a sad scenario to you?
Fair
Netflix’s Fair Game isn’t just an erotic thriller that links sexual desire to power and ambition. It is also a smart exploration of the greed of the modern world and how there is a step from love to hate. A distance that can disappear when the need for success becomes a weapon and, worse, a way to attack through manipulation and resentment.
It’s not like that at all. In fact, what’s most surprising is that the production takes an unusual route to tell the old story of how love fails to survive the competition between rivals. All from a malicious point of view. Can two identical talents with identical goals allow one of them to have an advantage? This is what happens when Emily gets a promotion. Luke seems to calm down, but in reality the situation will only push them both to fight with all their might. Not only to achieve success – that is of course – but also to humiliate.
When triumph is an uphill road
Fair addresses a variety of relevant topics without making them tiresome, preachy, or too obvious. So for now Emily celebrates his victory and Luke realizes for the first time what failure can be, several things are happening in the background.
The script examines everything from gender, the role of women and men in finance, to fear and violence, amidst elegant scenes. They are all well constructed but fully supported by the actors. This couple, who have noticeable sexual chemistry, may also hate each other with the same desire with which they have sex. What the director uses to show how from love to hate there is only one step.
In addition to the burden of hostility, which is a new situation Emily reasons, that is, the fact that no one knows that she is committed Luke. Which gives him a slight advantage over her. But Emily knows this, so she plays the influence cards in her favor. The film explores how the cruel and strategic traps the pair set for each other reflect the financial world at large. But beyond that, it’s also a way to connect what’s happening on screen—the evolving feud between the characters—with a complex theme.
Revenge of two angry lovers
In his last scenes Fair He found a way to talk about the disaster of a dark romance and at the same time about the inner darkness of his characters. But not in the traditional thriller style. With a cast of ruthless and despicable characters, the film isn’t content to offer a new dimension to hatred out of greed. At the same time, it makes it clear that we are all too close to it for it to remain hidden.
What becomes obvious to the extent that Luke And Emily They understand that hatred is just another way of relating to each other. Like the desire to succeed, it is a type of erotic need. The film introduces all sorts of uncomfortable comparisons that take it into new territory and make it inevitable to question what its characters need to be happy. It’s not about money or a stable and conditional romance. It is an almost insatiable desire to conquer, destroy and devastate.
This couple, who end up going broke – and not in the most obvious way – could be anyone. An element that is clarified by the plot for a sad and realistic ending. At the same time, greed is the turning point of modern morality,in sex and the need to escape. The strangest and most bitter moral of the plot.
