Which one do you think was most likely to be Aviva ? (spoiler)


Not really sure if its relevant but I'm interested. I think the one who gets in the car near the end is the real one. She was in it earlier but I cant remember the name of the part she was in.

I think the movie wanted you to see how differently you felt about Aviva, her wants, the things she did, who she did them with, based on the changes in her appearance. They all were her because the movie states that people never change.
Physicaly there was no real one. They were all the same person because they were Aviva. "X does not equal Y."

I think that's just because the different actresses are themselves arranged like a palindrome. In other words, we start with the same actress/letter that the film/word ends with.

i think it was either the one who was with earl/bob/joe during the shooting of the little girl/doctor, or huckleberry aviva
no clue though, but i like it that way. it keeps you guessing and i'll probably be thinking about this movie up until i fall asleep tonight

reply

I agree completely.
The one with bob is the best Aviva, not completely sure why.

but i'm sure that the best Aviva can be explained by labeling that large black woman the most unlikely Aviva.

does that make any sense? lol

reply

I think she was the best too. Probably because she looked to be the right age and she seemed natural. Others were obviously way too young or way too old.

What a waste. Oh, the humanity!

reply

I think the one who actually got the abortion was, or the one who showed the most affection to Bob

I have mixed feelings about this, after seeing it several times I still come away from it thinking that either they were all the "real" Aviva in some way, or that none of them were.

They are all her. To me it was obvious, but Mr. Solondz has said talked/written about it saying that.

reply

Makes sense, I like how the actresses who played Aviva were all shown as a Palindrome, having the first also be the last so it comes full circle, it can be a bit jarring though. I wish they had shown Huckleberry Aviva more, I thought showing Aviva as a boy was an interesting concept but it goes by so fast that unless you pay attention you miss that moment.

or maybe cause she was the best looking one?

reply

Yeah. I think the real one (at least for me) was the one who witnessed the shooting of the little girl and abortionist.

It might be the one who never got a speaking part - the short haired one.











Ashmi any question

The one that went through the abortion. That was her, definitely.
