Only me I guess. Hiding from futility.

Kurosawa's The Idiot. The 'fallen' woman will not be with the idiot because she thinks she's not good enough for him. He then gets with another woman instead who I think really acts kind of vile. Although mostly just in the typical way that passes as 'normal' in our society. The 'fallen' woman, having never met the idiot's SO sends her letters urging her to marry the idiot. The 'fallen' woman does this because along with caring so much for the happiness of the idiot, she idealizes his SO. She idealizes her as the woman she could have been if not for her unfortunate life circumstances.

Finally the idiot proposes to this other woman and she does accept. And finally they all meet. The 'fallen' woman is so worried about this meeting because she's idealized this woman. What if she totally falls short of her idealizations in their meeting?

Meanwhile what is the idealized woman worried about? She's just jealous. Filled with hatred that the idiot had strong feelings for another woman. While the 'fallen' woman is worried about the happiness of others, the idiot's SO is just consumed by the typical ugly selfish jealousy as such that owns most women in this world.

The 'fallen' woman realizes this soon enough and is disgusted and appalled that she thought she wasn't good enough for the idiot and instead gave him over to such a vile creature.

So she asks him there to instead choose her.

He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want to hurt either of them of course. The only thing he takes into consideration in the choice is who needs him more. On that basis the 'fallen' woman seems to need him more.

It ends in disaster with the two good people in the story dead. And the jealous woman says how wonderful the idiot was and that she was the true idiot.

And perhaps to women really in touch with the jealousy which clearly owns them, (or men) perhaps they (if they managed to watch this whole movie) would then say, "Oh how nauseatingly preachy!" If they managed to understand it. Not that they'll ever be seeking out this movie to watch. Nor will they ever accidentally watch any such a movie.
