Is anyone else bothered by...
...the fact that Kate forgives her friends, when they're effectively responsible for the chain of events leading to her lover's death?
For most of the film their efforts are directed at undermining the relationship, and making him out to be a conniving cad...
though he proves more than once that he genuinely loves her.
Not only do they take it upon themselves to decide what's best for her, the sexual temptation they employ seems especially dirty pool... in Paris, as well as at home.
Is there any indication that some of their antipathy arises from envy?
I thought the romance was very moving and believable, and that the film had many fine moments.
One of my favorites is the scene when he shows her how he uses music to emotionally prepare and inform funeral goers.
