Yes, I'm discreet.Thank you, your vote will be counted and appear on this page within 24 hours.As we become more
and more desensitized to violence, sex and profanity, it takes a lot
more to shock us.Still, this movie had memorable moments that have stayed with us who
first saw it at the theater 20 years ago.Man, this is a woman who would not be denied what she wanted:
in this case, married man Michael Douglas.No sense going into all the details.Looking back, I think the film was a good lesson for men (or
women) thinking about cheating on their spouses and assuming nothing
bad will happen as a result.The widescreen DVD
certainly brought out how nicely this film was shot and directed.Was the above comment useful to you?You may report errors and omissions on this page to the IMDb database managers.They will be examined and if approved will be included in a future update.Internet Movie Database Inc.Please help improve this article or section by expanding it.Fatal Attraction is a 1987 thriller about a married man who has a weekend affair with a woman who refuses to allow it to end and who becomes obsessed with him.The film was adapted by James Dearden and Nicholas Meyer from an earlier short film by Dearden for British TV entitled Diversion.Plot
Dan Gallagher is a successful, happily married New York attorney living in Manhattan when he meets Alex Forrest, an editor from a publishing company, through business.While his wife and his daughter are out of town for the weekend, Dan has a brief affair with Alex.Alex Forrest's mental instability initially surfaces when she attempts suicide after Dan explains to her that he must go home and get on with his life.She is waiting for him at his office one day to apologize and invite him to an opera of Madame Butterfly with her, but he turns her down.You won't answer my calls, you change your number, I'm not going to be ignored, Dan!"Although Dan wants nothing to do with her, she argues that he must take responsibility.Alex's obsession, which grows stronger as time goes on, eventually turns into madness.At one point, while the Gallaghers are away from home, Alex even kills Dan's daughter Ellen's pet rabbit and puts it on their stove to boil.Dan tells Beth of the affair and Alex's pregnancy, and after getting over the initial shock and anger, she forgives him.Alex goes on to kidnap Ellen from school one day, though she brings Ellen home unharmed (after taking her to a park and buying her ice cream).Meanwhile, Beth is injured in a car accident while searching for her child in a panic.As she attacks Beth with a butcher knife, Dan hears the screaming and runs in, wrestling Alex into the bathtub and drowning her...She suddenly emerges from the water, swinging her knife at him.Beth, who has gone in search of the gun Dan has bought, appears in the doorway and shoots her.Reaction
After its release, Fatal Attraction engendered much discussion of the potential consequences of infidelity.Feminist Susan Faludi discussed the film in her book "Backlash", arguing that major changes had been made to the original plot in order to make Alex wholly negative, while the carelessness and the lack of compassion and responsibility shown by Dan raised no discussion.Much of the movie's plot was spoofed in the 1993 comedy Fatal Instinct.Especially when Beth tells Alex "If you come near my family again I'll kill you".This page was last modified 19:25, 6 January 2008.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Quicklinks
