After all it condemns a woman who dumps a man because he'll go back working as a cashier rather than an aviator. Haven't they heard about truth in advertising? Female generally advertise their body, men their work. You can't bait and switch a girl and expect the love to conquer all. Love is nice, but the bills gotta be paid.
shareHa ha well said.
This film was overrated big time.

Your point is well taken but pretentious is the wrong word. A better word would be "naive."
shareAhaha, I love this post. Wow, didn't think of it that way but you have a point.
shareThat's not 'the film's' aspirations, it's the character's.
His failure to see through his aviation training brought out his biggest weakness.
Her failure to step up for him in his hardest time brought out her disgusting life sucking leach that she was.
The only one who bait and switched anyone was her.
Limit of the Willing Suspension of Disbelief: directly proportional to its awesomeness.
Sid seemed like a fool anyways. He was doing what his family wanted and not what he wanted, and fell in love with a woman who just wanted one thing. He was very naive to think that Paula loved him, he had plenty of warning of what the white trash girls there were like.
