Really in love?
I see the couple's relationship differently from most people who have watched this film.
Yes, Leigh "seduced" Deborah out of interest, but I think he genuinely fell in love with her after starting to see her frequently.
He saw she was a beautiful, open-minded, mature person and felt touched by her fragility and inexperience.
It's obvious Deborah cared much more for him, leaving everything behind, specially her comfortable middle-class home.
Also, putting her principles aside, by agreeing to the gang's plan.
But I don't read Leigh as 100% mischievous and selfish, like we are led to believe.
Perhaps he was too young and his mates had too much of an influence on his behaviour.
Any opinions on that?
