當網絡日愈成為我們生活中如影隨行、不可或缺的一部分,網絡上的人際交往也日愈便利而繁盛。而且,網絡上的你來我往不拘泥於確切地域、真實成長背景甚至年齡的間隔,任隨鼠標引領,任鍵盤在十個指尖起落,你盡可以虛擬角色、想象奔湧,千姿百態的ID在“下網”現形之前,可以為所欲為地扮演他或者她意欲扮演的人物,讓在電腦上“對話”的另一方信以為真。除卻惡意設定謀財害命目標的網絡欺詐——那是屬於觸犯法律的罪行範疇了,網絡上有些本來並無惡意的獵豔、或是調情、或是閑極無聊的惡作劇之舉也能擦槍走火、導致惡性結果、甚至導致出家破人亡的慘劇,這是我始料未及的,這樣的事件竟真實地發生在生活中並被搬入到這部電影裏:
在理智上,托馬斯明知平庸的自己與一位18歲的妙齡女郎不可能釀出結果,他隻是不甘失去這一次精神出軌的興奮和快意,他也不甘為虛無縹緲的愛情舍棄自己深愛的女兒和平穩的家庭。托馬斯一麵極力挽回和妻子的感情,一麵仍然偷偷與“TalhotBlond”重新保持聯絡,懇請她保留這一份難得的“友情”,“TalhotBlond”拗不過他的執意,他們恢複了網絡上的對話。
令人哭笑不得的是:當警方展開調查,順藤摸瓜找到網名“TalhotBlond”的真實住址,那裏住著一對單親母女,女兒確實妙齡18,容貌靚麗。卻原來,以“TalhotBlond”網名在網絡上勾引男人的一直是四十開外、紅顏盡褪、難忍孤寂的單身母親,她盜用了漂亮女兒的照片為自己作誘餌,而漂亮女兒對所有這些“網絡戀情”都絲毫不知情,“TalhotBlond”與年輕的她沒有任何幹係!
