Oh my God!

Hehe, don't really have anything interesting to say, just that I was watching the movie and got kinda bored with the constant arguing etc that was going on between the two main characters. I zapped to another channel. When I changed back to the film Franscesca and the trapper were suddenly having wild sex and I was like, wtf, is this another movie or something?? Now she suddenly seems to love the guy? I was expecting the trapper to maybe try and rape her or I don't know, but certainly not this! Definitely have to see the part I missed sometime...

You haven't missed much, even if you would have kept watching it your response would be the same: wtf?? It's just one of the strange plot twists that show how this movie tries its best but still feels unrealistic. First of all, it's plain crazy that such a good looking girl would go and live with a lonesome guy for a whole winter in a small shack without anyone warning her or something... Of course he's going to hit on her. Also, the characters feel quite wooden, especially the girl. And for a dumb trapper who doesn't know a word of English, he sometimes expresses himself a bit too well...

Oh well, good try, not so good movie
