It’s never JUST SEX! The movie Fatal Attraction, directed by Adrian Lyne, tells the story of single working woman who seduces a happily married man and doesn’t allow him to ignore her after their weekend love affair. Alex Forest (Glenn Close) asks questions about Dan Gallagher’s (Michael Douglas) married life before they even become intimate and she still wants to be with him. Alex demanded attention from Dan and wouldn’t let him just shove her off as a whore. Even though she knows he has a family, she still wants to be part of his life. The outlook on the movie is a cynical one, supporting the idea that a woman will always need a man. The movie uses an opera song from the movie ‘Madame Butterfly,’ in which Dan and Alex discuss before dinner. The opera tells the story of a 15 year old Japanese geisha who falls in love with a sailor. She is signified as a butterfly and somewhat innocent and fragile even though she has been a geisha. The Captain isn’t “content with life unless he makes his treasure the flowers on every shore." He says no matter how beautiful the butterfly, he must damage her wings. And because he leaves her in the end she kills herself. Is Alex a fragile butterfly?
