rainmaker_freefall says > I loved the way his relationship with Ann develops, how natural it seems for him to want to look after her, even when he doesn't know her very well... normally you only see a man and woman of the same age becoming close when they are supposed to be love interests, and the fact that this idea wasn't really even explored made me love it that much more.
Good point! It's always nice to see the depiction of a relationship between a man and woman that doesn't involve sex. That kind of thing is becoming a rarity these days. I was also happy to see that Kay didn't immediately become jealous when Clinton and Ann left the house together.
Though she had asked him to help Ann through a difficult time, for a moment it seemed they were going to turn it into a typical fight over a guy. I'm glad that's not how it turned out. One jealous and insecure sister in the family, Emma, is more than enough.
A lot of people, like Ann in the movie, have a hard time differentiating between caring about or for someone (as she cared for and wanted to help Mickey) and being in love with that person (as she had been all along with Felix). Her sister, Emma, had the same problem. She confused Felix' kindness and friendship for something more.
I have brought this issue up in other posts because a lot of times some people on these boards confuse same-sex friendships for something else. It shows they have no idea what it means to care for someone without having ulterior motives.
It's starting to feel like all we see these days are the kind of tension-filled, 'frenemy' type of relationships we see on Reality television. People are either yelling, screaming, and fighting with those they supposedly care about or going to bed with anyone they happen to meet. All these relationships seem phony, shallow, petty, sex-driven and not worth having.
