A couple of things I was unsure about
There were two things in the film that I was a little unsure about that didn't seem to be explained properly.
1) Why was it that Connie split up from Harper? He seemed to be the one that pushed for the breakup which seemed odd to me because we were told earlier in the film that he likes to keep the girls for a five year plan if possible yet I think he instigated the split from Harper within the first year. It was also hinted at throughout the film that he was her favourite so if anything he would have made the most effort to keep her for the full five years wouldn't he? The only thing I can think of is that perhaps she was the only one he truly cared about so he let her go because he thought she deserved more than what he could offer?
2) Why was it that connie seemed to be struggling for money towards the end of the film? Harper seemed to have to go out and get a job of her own and he didn't seem to be doing much photography anymore. He seemed quite desperate when he went to visit his old friend in the hope of selling him some pictures and I think he even pawned his camera. What happened to him that put him in such a poor financial position? Was it something to do with him spending too much money on drink?
Any help with these two problems would be appreciated.
