Just watched it and have to say the ending was disappointing for such a good film.
Think the way that Evelyn completely ruined three people's lives with no repurcussion or remorse at all was completely unrealistic... Hell, even her "i'll look after it" response when he told her where the ring came from was coldhearted.
Other than that, very intelligent movie
And almost schools require their students to have their graduate thesis topic approved, and no professor would approve something like that. However, I think the ending is more symbolic than anything else. He's trying to represent the way people manipulate and objectify each other in relationships, and using a very extreme way of portraying it.

she could lie. Maybe she approved something different and then changed it, so it was a surprise...
shareyeh, but you'd need to get ethics approval still. And once they figured out you lied, and that it was obviously unethical she'd have problems im sure. Being in school now, anytime you even talk to anyone you need to provide an ethics proposal that takes weeks to approve. If she was truthful, I can't even begin to imagine a proposal saying 'im going to offer sex as a way of manipulating a person to change themselves' hah.
shareYou don't think there really are evil women like her around?
How naive can you be?
Did she really "ruin" their lives though?
That said, people do terrible things all the time and feel no remorse.
That's really only half the point. Yes, she manipulated him, but ultimately he made his own decisions. His character is just as bad as hers is. I listed to the director commentary and it gave me a completely different perspective.

I understand that perspective but what if Adam was a 14 year old boy? Does that change things? Adam was presented as weak and lacking confidence, so to argue he has as much responsibility in his own downfall is hardly true.

in a way, the crazy bitch was more honest than most women.
