Especially in the last scene where the car turned over it seems like they are about to kiss when she is reaching for the tapes then the guy murmured something.then when they got back home she started crying. Does it mean that there is some love developing beetwen which will not be right since shes married? for some odd reason i luv the scene i mentioned above.
see, i didn't think it was a "love" thing....
her husband is away, Alek is a handsome man who has shown her compassion, has helped her, and has saved the life of her father in law.
he ALSO is responsible (in the end) for protecting her son's innocence, and she's feeling all of these things as she's watching him DIE.
that's what the tears are about, not 'don't die, i love you'. just think for bit all all the emotional things she's just been through, all the while holding it all in....this is the moment she lets it out.
"but ya ARE Blanche! Ya ARE in that chair!!"

c..i think u're right but i kinda felt that he DID LOVE her..maybe he admired the way she protects her family n takes care of 'em..well he sure is a handsome man n if i was her i'd fall for him now matter what..but yeah u're right..man the car scene was just..god when he was sayin am..n then he died i was like nooooooooooooooo he shudnt pls let us know what he was abt to say..well but they didnt:S,,its a good movie i think..bye4now..chichi..
share ~ I felt that wanted her. At first Spara pity her situation, seeing that she's just a mother of 3 kids trying her best to care of them, her sick father in-law and the house all by her self. To top it off he & Carlie are trying to stiff her for cash and having to except her son's hidden sexuality. That to much to bare. Especially if you're all alone.
Alek developed a concience when she told him that all of her reasons why she couldn't get the money soon enough. I notice he looked at her in a different way.

I agree with Celtic-10. Just like the death of James Mason and the feelings that Joan Bennett had as she watched in the 1949 film noir "The Reckless Moment". Both movies were based on Elisabeth Sanxay Holding's story "The Blank Wall". Haven't read the book though...
share It's funny how it is never said that she did not love her husband or she wanted to get away from him at all, but many interpret she was in love with him just like that. She was grateful to him for his kindness and support and they became close. She would not abandon her husband while he is defending his country I don't think the story was going there at all. She was not the type to show this side of her to her kids as how would they feel about her after she does this.
IT could have become a sexual thing just out of her husband being gone but If this were to happen she was not the type to get to involved and lead him on. That was my take on it.
I think that he was in love with her too. He seemed to have developed a soft spot for her. I also think that she was starting to have feelings for him too. That might explain why she was crying when he died.

The Deep End Review

I think 'love' is a little strong, there was just the beginning of romantic attraction. The intensity of the situation led to some emotional intensity and affection, but I think we're jumping the gun with love.
It begins with his slowly coming to an appreciation of the mother holding her house and family together. For a guy working for the mob, I think he starts off attracted to her goodness more than anything else. Honestly, I find that a really refreshing idea.
For the mother, it seems even slower. She doesn't warm up to him until after he starts taking her side. I get the impression watching the film that this is the first man in years who has wanted to help her rather than needing help from her.
What I really love about this moving is its silence and subtlety. You follow everything, but almost all of the plot is moved by the looks on people's faces. It just seems so real. In a big-budget movie, the mother would have to have a scene discussing whether or not to hide the body or some voiceover mess.
