INDECENT PROPOSAL? Scanning the channels, I came across the 1993 film, INDECENT PROPOSAL, starring WOODY HARRELSON, DEMI MOORE and ROBERT REDFORD. A "slightly" controversial movie at the time, the basic premise of the movie involved the oft-asked question: Can money buy happiness?
A couple (HARRELSON and MOORE) travel to Las Vegas with their life savings to try and raise money to finance their dream home. In the process, they end up losing everything at the roulette tables. Bummed out by their turn of bad luck, they happen to meet a billionaire (REDFORD), who becomes enchanted with the wife (MOORE). A chain of events occur and over dinner and drinks, the billionaire proposes the following:
He offers the couple a million dollars if he gets to have one night with the wife. No strings attached.
The couple initially balks at the suggestion and blows him off. However, as time goes on, they begin to consider it as they were strapped for cash and the financial windfall could finance all of their dreams. Eventually they consent to the deal and it leads to all kinds of other problems, ethical and moral issues, etc. You get my drift.
The reason I bring this up is a simple one. What would you do if you were in that situation? Would you consider such a deal? If so, would you be able to live with yourself afterwards. Could your ego handle your mate being with another person, regardless of the rewards to follow?
They say each person has a price in which they would consider doing something that they wouldn't normally do otherwise. What's yours?
