Indecent Proposal(1987)






















Cast: Demi Moore, Robert Redford, Woody Harrelson

The title is quite misleading, in the sense it may too much of a give-away as to what to expect. Never the less, even before knew what was Demi Moore’s claim to fame, I had heard about Indecent Proposal. However, I got around to see it only much later, 17-18 years later. Well, that’s not the interesting part about the movie, which I want o share with you.

Some of the events may look to have been placed to make the story happen, give credibility to the plot. However at the same time, I would have fallen for a much simpler premise, a much simpler state of mind to make the choice. The choice which the couple made.

Robert’s fierce conviction, is sometimes so ruthless, it fails to appeal to me. May be that’s what most women would fall for!! I liked the emotional dilemma that Woody goes through, and the need for him to know what transpired. I guess, it’s a guy thing. The thought of the partner with someone else can cause a misery that’s equal to none. For those of you who have seen, ‘Closer’ you can relate to similar portrayal of the mental agony.

The hitman cum driver is funny, I must and the least scary. The advocate was neat. Does justice. Watch it for, well, for knowing why it made the rounds.
