This film is about Maggie's plan, and her ultimate goal is to have a baby on her own. She happens to fall in love with a married man who is married to a beautiful and brilliant woman from a very high class. She wonders why he could fall in love with a woman like Maggie, but she falls in love with his novel he is writing as an author, depicting his hatred towards his wife. Maggie and John get married and Maggie ends up having the baby of her dreams and is living her life. Though she realizes her love for John is drifting away and that him and his ex-wife are perfect for each other. Her next plan is to work with his ex-wife to bring them back together again.
A scene that really stood out to me was the moment when Maggie opens the door to her apartment and John is waiting right in front of the doorway. This is the scene where the audience is aware but Maggie doesn't know that John is about to tell Maggie that he loves her. This movie is completely classical but this scene is the only scene in the film where the camera includes formative shots. The camera moves in beats as if we can feel the hearts racing in both John and Maggie as if they are somehow uniting as their feelings grow for each other. The director shoots just their eyes for a long time just so we can see the emotion that is about to be exposed. This whole scene is silent and this impacts the film and creates drama and importance. This film was a basic philosophical film about love and true happiness and was not a film for me to watch. This movie was for those in their mid life crisis who are torn between love and work and have no guidance as to which of those things will make them happier. This film was a waste of time and has no real plot.
