Thoughts on this jump cut, was it all a dream?
Just finished watching the film, this scene really confused me early on.
Early in the film towards the beginning, when Richard comes home from drinking with his pal and Jeannie. He eats dinner and fools around with his wife. They then proceed to tell bad joked and presumably have sex. They say goodnight to each other and the scene ends on his wifes face.
The next shot is Richard in his pool room. And his wife putting ice in 2 glasses when Richard appears and tells her that he wants a divorce.
My question is, is this the next day?
Was the sex some sort of daydream? Because we earlier see him go into the pool room and never see him exit or play.
What especially threw me was that his request for divorce cam pretty much out of the blue.
Could it be that he was dreaming/day dreaming about having sex with his wife?
Or simply nothing at all?
Thoughts?
You know what the Queen said? If I had balls, I'd be King.
