![]() While the underlying story leading to the Deep Water ending remains the same, including Vic’s strange obsession with snails, the 2022 movie notably diverges from the Deep Water book in the last act. Related: Why Deep Water's Reviews Are So Negative ![]() While Vic puts on a public mask of indifference to his wife’s affairs, he finally snaps and begins to kill Melinda’s (Ana de Armas) lovers as the stakes for the couple’s twisted mind-games grow higher. Like the film, the Deep Water novel depicted the strange agreement in which Melinda is allowed to take lovers as long as she doesn’t break up their family. This time around, Lyne brings to life Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel, Deep Water, which was remarkable at the time for breaking gender stereotypes. Deep Water isn’t Adrian Lyne’s first book adaptation, with some of his best-known erotic dramas like Indecent Proposal and 9½ Weeks also being inspired by notable literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() He asks the Graiai sisters – the three sisters of Greek mythology who have one eye and one tooth between them – for help, and in return casts their only eye into the sea. He has been challenged to take Medusa’s head, and while he doesn’t have the know-how, equipment or any idea what he has let himself in for, he can be as cruel as the gods. One of Haynes’ many narrators – which include Medusa’s snakes and a crow – tells us that the hero “isn’t always the one who’s kind or brave or loyal. (Photo: Mantle)Īnother story arc – and another monster – sits alongside all this: that of Perseus, son of Zeus and a human woman imprisoned by her own toxic father. Athena’s revenge on Poseidon is to curse Medusa and turn her into a Gorgon like her sisters. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Medusa is in her teens, she is raped by Poseidon (Zeus’s brother) in a temple to Athena. She plots against her husband while punishing his victims with elaborate curses.Īthena, goddess of war, also favours penalising the victim, not the perpetrator. Thanks to his predilection for raping women and goddesses alike – Haynes thankfully doesn’t palm off rape as seduction – Zeus’s offspring is legion and his wife, Hera, is bitter, furious and keen on revenge. The monsters are elsewhere, on Mount Olympus, home of Zeus and his extended brood.
