What happens afterwards?


What do you think happens after Matthew is arrested?

I wonder if Matthew and Maria will ever actually be in a romantic relationship. Matthew needs Maria more than she needs him.

As for Matthew's possible jail sentence.... I like to think that his dad will defend him in court and say all sorts of things that make Matthew sound more normal than he is, considering the dad's complete nice facade with those kids at the beginning of the movie.

I once read that Hal Hartley claimed that he was asked what happened to Maria and Matthew afterward. I wonder what he tells people.

Matthew at best had severe Aspergers. Unfortunately I think any relationship that he was in would eventually be crushed by his instability.
