Wilbur/Alice


I thought it was incredibly sexy to watch their love affair develop. When Alice's daughter asked Wilbur's brother if he'd be sleeping in Wilbur's room(since Wilbur had taken his place in Alice's bedroom) it was the perfect climax to the story- and kinda hot too!

Call me intolerant, but I'm a bit shocked by what you find "kinda hot". A man realizes he is terminal, comes home for (what he alone knows is) the last time, and he learns that his beloved wife is having an affair with the brother for whom he did so much and labored so hard to keep from killing himself. That is a kick in the gut (well, balls rather) like none other. This is utter betrayal of someone who really deserved better. How you can find THAT kinda hot is beyond comprehension.

Totally have to agree with you, mark-1589.

Guess the milkman visits them too often... and the worst part...
they're turned on peeping.

And Harbour - completely different from you and me / who'd just help Wilbur and ...
don't know - since beating a woman is not an option... suggestions anyone? what to do with an unfaitful wife? - kills himself to make way for their "love"

I thought that in a way Harbour didn't mind too much that Wilbur and Alice were having an affair.

He had always loved his brother and would do anything to make him happy. I think he realises that Alice is the one thing that makes Wilbur happy and may be the thing which gives him the stability he needs and stops him trying to kill himself. I think in this way Harbour would be happy - his struggle to make Wilbur happy is finally over.

I think Harbour also realises that he is terminal and is reassured by the fact that the family he leaves behind (and loves very much) will be happy. Alice and Wilbur love each other and Wilbur will be a good father figure to Mary.

Of course most people would go mad in that situation but Harbour is just very selfless and loving of his family.

I have to agree. I tended to like the movie, but yet found it rather sour.

Hot? Both were ugly, selfish idiots.
