I had never seen the movie fatal attraction before, but I must say that it is an intense film. The woman that the man had an affair with demonstrated obsessive thoughts. At first she seemed normal woman, but after a weekend spent with him she did a complete turn around. I think what caused her to behave in this manner is that she was infatuated with him because she barely knew him to the extent that she can say that they had an intimate relationship. The relationship was based on infatuation and passion. There was not commitment or other aspects of love that he had with his wife. Cutting herself, stalking him at his job, meeting his wife, and killing a kids rabbit is not something that a normal person would do. Everything that was taking place she imposed upon herself because she knew what she was getting herself into from the beginning. This is why I firmly believe that some infatuations can be dangerous, because you are in an obsessive state of mind, and thats exactly what happened in the film.
Limerence to me is something like love at first sight. You are attracted to them, but not on a sexual level. Instead that is the end product. Limerence and lust are quite the same to me because they both deal with heightened levels of attraction. I also think it has a link to being close to infatuation. People in limerence are said to be head over heals not noticing the any flaws of the person that they are interested in .
