John and Jane have been married for six years and lived colorless lives. Marriage is like a tomb, making their days stagnant. But behind the dull surface, they each have an adventurous and exciting life of their own. They both are members of two different professional killer organizations. They don’t know the background about each other until one day they accept the mission of killing the same person at the same time. After constant testing and guessing, Jane exposes her membership accidentally. Thus, an unavoidable conflict between them comes into being. In the process, they also begin to realize that to their organizations they are just two pieces but to each other they are lovers who spend six years together.
I have seen the movie three times already. I suppose there is something interesting in the movie that draws my attention. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are wonderful actors. They play the roles of the hero and the heroine, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a talented, intelligent and confident couple. In the movie, at first the two think that marriage is just a lifestyle which two people in love live together without the necessity of self-sacrifice. In their minds, love is one thing while the self is another. Although living in the same house they use different lavatory basins, closestool and
wardrobes. They are in love but they never let the other step out first when they go out, or pass the saltcellar to the other when they have dinner. They are courteous and treat each other with much respect, do not ask much about their partner’s job or anything
else. Actually they are very cautious with each other and keep a distance between themselves. Their marriage starts with a romantic beginning, but clearly there are unsolved problems in their relationship.
The couple doesn’t realize that love can slowly melt the boundaries they have in
mind. They use think that love could exist without self-sacrifice, but the peculiarity of love is that it makes people to consider more than self-sacrifice. In a satisfactory marriage, two people form a couple because the love they have for the other is more than that for himself or herself. Marriage should not be a conflict between two selfish people. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Smith find the true love between them during an extremely violent process. Love surpasses the ego. This is not only an admirable ending, but also where the charm of the movie is.
It is interesting that both in the beginning and the ending of the movie, the couple are accepting psychological consulting. In the beginning, they keep finding faults with the other and refuse to give in, while in the ending, they have a mutual understanding of each other without saying. Seeing these scenes, you really cannot help to smile for this adorable couple.
There are billions of couples and families all around the world where conflicts happen. Each family faces the problem of the struggle between love and the self. While you are fighting for yourself, please do not forget the existence of love.
I guess that is one point that I learnt from the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
