爱的缘由

男女主第一次相遇是在一次婚礼上，婚礼本来就是容易让人伤感和浪漫的地方，何况结婚的又是男主的前女友，男主难免会有一种失败感。

男女主在等车的时候遇上，明显女方比较主动，还留了自己的名片。

男主目前有个交往的女朋友，长得漂亮，身材也好，但是男主是做音乐的，女孩子不时只是做些家政的活，两个共同语言也少，明显男主不是很上心，也不曾带女方认识自己的朋友，他从婚礼回来之天，女朋友主动找来，但早上马上离去，因为她感受到了男主对他的冷漠，因而生气离去。

男主开始按名片让了女主的几次瑜伽课，又有了一些其它的互动，女演员1970年生，演此片时45岁，男主1986年生，演此片时29岁，两人相差16岁，不过因为女主身材好，状态好，不是有种少女的羞涩感，因此两个虽然明显感觉有年龄差，但差别却又不是那么大，外型上感觉很登对，男方血气方刚，女主小鸟依人。

男主不是那种比较坚持自见的人，基本跟着感觉走，他虽然觉得跟现在交往的性感女朋友不是很来电，但也不主动分手，女友找上门来也来者不拒。

遇上45岁更成熟，生活和状态更加稳更风情成种的女主后，他也顺其自然的主动联系，并没有想太多出轨不出轨的，走一步看一步，只不过感情更深入之后，明显还是要面对这个问题，不过两个人逐步走近的过程很甜，男女主演表演得都很到位.

最后结局的处理是很赞的，女主觉得自己还是爱丈夫，离不开目前稳定的生活，她不能再来一次了，女主的丈夫出来面对了男主，称让他走开，并打了他。

男主接受了这个结局，最后一幕，面对来告别的女主，虽然两人都有感情，但是没有再过多的接触，毕竟结局就是这样，不能再走下去，就好好的道别。

男主恢复了与性感女朋友的来往，开始出去游玩，开始尽量认真的与女友交往，亦开始好好的做音乐，爱过一次，经历了一些成长，爱的过程本身就是收获。

“How He Fell in Love”

The title of writer/director Marc Meyers’ third feature film is a curious thing. Rather than fixate on one half of a relationship, “How He Fell in Love” instead becomes a much fuller look at how a relationship travels from casual acquaintances into unanticipated territory. With a sharp focus on an evolving relationship between Travis (Matt McGorry), an ambling part-time musician and Ellen, a married yoga studio instructor, Meyers foregoes easy judgment or condemnation to give a full view of a love with consequences.

Skillfully tracking the emotional parabola of their affair, “How He Fell in Love” gives breathing room to each stage of their interactions, beginning with their chance meeting at a wedding. As the two spend time together, casually flirting inside the yoga studio and beyond, their coded parsing of clues and discussions with friends afterwards help widen the scope of their potential romantic involvement. Early on in their friendship, when Travis visits Ellen’s house for a market research survey, Meyers switches to the footage on Travis’ work handheld camera; it’s like an audition tape for a life-altering romance.

McGorry plays Travis as a subdued romantic chameleon, adapting to both Ellen’s full affection and the fleeting attention of old flame Monica (Britne Oldford). His stagnation, both in his music career and his day job, makes the mutual sparks between he and Ellen all the more fulfilling.

As the woman caught between two different kinds of love, it’s Hargreaves who really shines here, conveying Ellen’s confidence to take what she wants. Hargreaves’ best moments find Ellen reveling in her newfound happiness, but acknowledging that this discovery is tinged with an expiration date: Either the fling’s or her marriage’s.

Despite Travis and Ellen’s breezy, walk-and-talk chemistry, Meyers wisely prizes the moments when the two are trading wordless glances, trying to decipher each other’s in turn. In the moments before the two go to bed together for the first time, their silent undressing reveals more about the pair than any portent-filled dialogue could. It’s refreshing to see Meyers trust that natural interaction to carry the story along — despite Travis’ musical aspirations, the film’s score is sparse. As the two settle into a comfortable cycle of illicit meet-ups, Meyers makes sure to keep Ellen’s wedding band in frame, even when she’s not making a point to take it off.

After existing only in theory for much of the film’s first third, the arrival of Ellen’s husband Henry completes the film’s triangle. Mark Blum brings welcome calm to Henry, even as the clues of Travis and Ellen’s relationships begin to seep into his home and social life. As Henry’s skepticism fades into something more certain, Meyers and Blum avoid making him a too-obvious foil to Travis’ youthful reservedness. As all of the main characters openly acknowledge their shortcomings, it keeps their situation from becoming a melodramatic cautionary tale.

“How He Fell in Love” is a distinctly New York story, but the production design balances the familiar Manhattan exteriors with the counterintuitive blank slate whiteness of the couple’s Holiday Inn rendezvous point. From their first encounter, the romance comes from their conversation and emotional connection, rather than any grand gesture. When the two finally decide to switch their preferred venue to somewhere upstate, you can see the colors pop and the drab, nondescript hotel wallpaper give way to vibrant, verdant roadtrip stops.

Ellen’s relationship with the two main men in her life aren’t played against each other as a convenient good-love/bad-love distinction, but one well-timed match cut does mark the difference in her demeanor around her husband and her lover. That complicated juggling also works through Meyers’ observant script, particularly one detail that resurfaces well after it’s introduced, before the audience can realize its significance.

But in the film’s hour of need, after some irreversible character choices, “How He Fell in Love” finally pays off its title by following the stone tossed in the pond rather than the ripples. In light of the finely-balanced story that precedes it, devoting much of the film’s closing quarter-hour to a redemption thread feels misplaced. Still, Travis and Ellen’s final meeting retains the bittersweet hallmarks of their best moments elsewhere. Regardless of who it sets its sights on, “How He Fell in Love” tells a complete tale without being tidy, fitting for a tale representative of love’s fickleness.
