No one who looks like her....


...would be so alone.

Also, no one would take nails all the way through the foot without going to a hospital.

I was thinking the same thing.

Have you ever watched the show Intervention? Some of the addicts with the most severe problems and poverty were very (physically) attractive. One woman was in her late 40's, but had been a professional model for 20 years. She was gorgeous, even while flipped out on meth. Beautiful people may get more chances than "average" people, but they can still run out of options (or be used for their looks).

That being said, I find Jennifer Connolly amazingly beautiful and I think she would get a loooooooooot of chances ....

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

Someone who looks like her could also be literally completely insane but she clearly isn't and wasn't playing that in the character.

So I stand by what I said in the OP.

Only if you're either schizophrenic or choose to associate with no one.

Someone who looks like you (naively assuming that's really you) shouldn't have trouble finding help if you're in a hopeless situation.

You look mean to me and I'd never want to have anything to do with you but I have little doubt that you have any trouble finding people who do.

Seems that you have standards that are impossible to meet. And therefore you would be left in a lurch.

Maybe the character in the movie had the same issues and it was just left up to the audience to figure that out without being told?

Yeah. We are solving this previously unknown subplot.

Where do you live? This is a common thing. If they aren't alone often they'll feel alone.

I actually had problems believing her because she is too damn beautiful to make me believe into ger condition.
but also the cop did not help at all.
btw to me JC is one of the 5 most beautiful women ever so that wont help...I guess.

reply

Yeah well her best days are long gone now.

Right? I used to have the biggest crush on her back in the day.

I'm sorry but this is just stupid. Is her being very physically attractive somehow make her immune to lifes problems and difficulties ? I'm sorry you seem to think we should cater to the needs and wants of only the beautiful people in this world.Also, I've seen many attractive drug addict women who have ruined their life. Kinda strange you equate beauty with happiness. Stop watching disney films and get out into the real world

reply

The character in the movie didn't use drugs or suffer from some serious mental problem.

Find me someone as attractive as her (at the time at least) in real life who is so utterly alone. You won't.

(btw, women who use drugs tend to get ugly very fast, ever see the before and after photos of meth addicts?)

Are you really that ignorant of depression and its affects? Or severe trauma and its affects?

Not every gorgeous person is a movie star or famous, which means you never hear about those who, due to whatever circumstances, either are alone or choose to be alone.

P.S.

I only said that she was alone, never said she was immune to life's problems and difficulties.

No one is immune to that.

Although there are some people who deserve such things more than others while they never suffer any difficulties.

reply

The improbability of her beauty is kind of the point, though. The cop is so captivated by her, and so badly wants to be her knight in shining armor, that his love for her drives him to stupidity and disgrace.

reply

She was lonely because she was depressed. If the only time she gets out of bed is to clean houses for work then she isn't meeting too many people no matter how attractive they are. She doesn't go to bars or around alcohol and she was trying to keep up apprences for her family. So I get why she is so lonely.
