It's just a picture of a woman. It says nothing about the trope, and there isn't even a caption to elaborate.

The work's example bullet point further down the page doesn't even explain it either, just that it is "all about this trope". I only found out who she is after reading the summary in the work's page.

Motion to pull

And on top of that, its quality is pretty poor.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

Pull it.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Yeah pull. If you haven't seen the movie it makes no sense.

Um, is the trope named after the movie? I would like to know before making a TRS thread about it.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

No, I meant is the trope Fatal Attraction named for the film.

The general meaning of "fatal attraction" (which was probably also inspired by the movie...) is "love turned to murderous obsession" or some variant thereof. The specific suspect-seduces-detective thing described by the trope is almost certainly named after the movie.
