Man about town

This is the name of a picture which I saw few months ago. It’s storyline is just superb. It’s about a self made man (character being played by Ben Affleck). Ben is a member of the board of directors of an advertising agency. Everything was going fine for him. He had a very important client but for the past few days he was not replying to him. So he got worried and went to see him in his office. There the client tried to give him a blind eye. Bedazzled by the situation he came back home. The same night his wife confessed to him that she was having an affair with his client. Listening to it, he got agitated and told his wife to get the hell out of his life. His wife was really guilty for her doings and asked Ben to forgive her, but he didn’t listen to her. He then decided that no matter whatever happens he won’t work with this client anymore no matter how important he was. But the other members of the board were not willing to put the business at stake for his personnel thing. So he had to continue doing work with him. Feeling helpless and lonely, he peeped into his past and remembered of his childhood days. At that point of time he used to love a girl of his class. They used to hang out together but one day when he called her to his home the girl fell for his brother. So Ben had an emotional breakdown and complained to his mother about the situation. The situation got worse and his family members started quarreling everyday. His father blamed Ben for the quarrels in the family. One day when the situation got completely out of the hand his mother decided to take Ben’s brother to the girl’s place to finally decide whom the girl wants to be with. But on their way to the girl’s place they met with an accident and his brother died in the accident. His father left his mother and hated Ben for situation turning out this way. So basically he never had anyone who really loved him. Coming back from the flashback…….in the present, as days passed, he got accustomed to the situation. Also Ben had a habit of going to a group therapy program where he used to discuss his problems. There was a press reporter too in the same group. Somehow he got hold off the Ben’s personnel diary and started blackmailing him that she would publish the story in the paper unless he offers her a job in his advertising agency. Ben tried many times to get his diary back from the reporter but all his efforts went into vain. In the end it was his wife who helped him in resolving his problems. Ben finally forgives her and his client believing that nobody in this world is perfect….whew…one hell of a story….don’t know about others but I really liked it….I would say that this movie is for sensible persons. So people do see it whenever u could find some time….happy watching!!!!
