A stalker


Does anyone think that Peter might have been stalking Erica. Maybe stalking is a harsh word. Granted, I think EDAW is a feel-good movie. But if any one of us regular guys did something similar to a girl we liked, who already has a boyfriend, wouldn't we be slapped with a restraining order? I doubt something like the ending of EDAW could ever happen in real life.

This definitely wasn't stalking for numerous reasons.

1. Erica never asked him to leave.
2. Peter didn't follow her everywhere. He stayed in one spot.
3. Peter didn't hide his actions. He was honest.
4. After he fell out of favor with her parents, he moved to the sidewalk.
5. He didn't disrupt anything Erica would have done, normally.

As for the ending, Peter got with Erica because he established a friendship as well. The main key to his success is that he also helped her escape to be with Nick. Most guys wouldn't do that. Peter hated Nick, but he loved Erica enough to want to see her happy. However, Peter believed he could make Erica happier.

The cops would've been there the second night. The ending of the movie is what happens in the mind of the stalker--while he's doing five years in the state prison.
