Does anyone else relate strongly to this line? Before Harry, Erica had a “manageable” life. She would’ve been fine having that life for the rest of her days. I’ve never had a “Harry” and quite possibly never will, and while part of me is saddened by this, part of me is rather relieved too.
shareI totally agree. For all of the films flaws, I think its a good social commentary on growing and being alone. As you pointed out, you know how to be alone, but how do you cope when someone rips through your world like a tornado? And also; no matter how old and set in your ways you get, ot can still happen.
shareYes. I totally get where she's coming from. And it's why I was so annoyed at how she let this man tear into that life and make her so upset. Big mistake. She had an enviable calm, independence (emotionally not just practical) and she ruined it for herself, for the sake of this philandering creep.
Harry had a four-pronged epiphany consisting of (1) a couple heart attacks, (2) falling in love with Erica, someone closer to his age, (3) losing Erica (temporarily) and (4) discovering the truth about himself after interviewing all his old flames for a period of months. In other words, he wasn't the same philandering creep he was at the beginning; he was in essence born again and redeemed.
