Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Tonight is a discussion on the institution of marriage. Marriage for the most part is hard like the couple in this film show us. Unlike my marriage which resembles that of Adam and Eve, pre Eve using womanly evil to ruin the perfect world. Marriages fall into ruts and things get old. Eventually you have a choice. Go on and not say a word or kill your spouse and be happy for the remainder of your days. John and Jane Smith (Pitt & Jolie) seem to have the perfect marriage, except for the fact that it is all a lie. Unbeknown st to each other, the other one is living a double life. Its funny that you can't be mad at him or her in this plot. They both have "jobs" that make them very wealthy. The jobs in question are that they are assassins. Each is the best in their own respects and working for different competing firms, and they have no idea they are each other's enemy. They are unhappily married and then one day it happens. They find out what the other one is. This new revelation leads to one of the funnest all out, no holds barred fight scenes ever put down. I mean who would not want to punch their wife in the face for all the years of crap? No one. Wrong, Everyone! Women are automatically allowed to beat us and we can' t say a word about it. Now the tables have turned. I can imagine how hard it would be to comprehend what was taking place. All the sudden you have to kill your wife, the home keeper/ attorney, or whatever. Thing is you can't. Not because of love or morality, because she is unkillable and has an equally good chance of offing you first. That would take some time to process. After this new found info about each other, they realize they no longer need to lie to each other and they may be soul mates after all. They take on their employers who have hired it out to have them killed. Since they didn't kill each other, which everyone was hoping for, now the plot thickens. We find out things about their relationship that is fall on the floor hysterical. Like when John finds out the man that gave her away at the wedding was an actor, because both her parents are dead. He then proclaims, I told you he looked like the guy from fantasy island. The hardest part for him is to admit that his wife may actually be better than him at this profession. He has to let go and start to trust her. The way the film begins and ends is absolutely genius. Couples counseling. It goes from them both in the room answering questions to one on one sessions and it is great commentary. This film has three of the best action sequences I have ever seen, let alone in one movie, let alone with a great plot and acting. I must have seen this film over 15 times by now and I need to watch it again. As for my Utopian marriage, if I ever get divorced, BEWARE, It is a conspiracy. Someone has killed me, cloned my likeness (memories in all) like the movie "The 6th Day", and my clone cannot deal with the World that is Lisa. Although, if we did have to kill each other, I must admit she would have the upper hand. I mean, do you know how hard it would be to shoot a running, zig zagging, flailing walking stick? Pretty dang hard. Just sayin. Also I do believe I will duplicate John's under the shed arsenal storage house in my next home. It's Awesom-nomenal.
