Would you have let her in?

I would have let her in too. At the beginning of the movie it felt very odd that he didn´t let her in. I was even mad to him. Maybe there would have been a change to do something to help her. I think I´d die if I knew there was something I could have done.

Movie was great. I didn´t expect very much of it though.

I would have let her in only if my children weren't already safe inside with me. I would not be able to watch my spouse die alone and do nothing unless it were in the best interest of my children. This movie really gets one thinking.

LET HER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rubbish - you've obviously never been in love.

They have just married - they are supposed to be head over heels in love - there are no children or pets to take into consideration. When you love someone - especially at the beginning they are your world. If they die then you might as well be dead anyway - I agree that this is fundamentally what is wrong with the whole film - they should have snuck in a line about her perhaps being unfaithful and that would have made it believable.

The guy looked like an idiot and from the moment he didn't let her in I didn't care anymore about what happened as it made no sense at all.

i always have a problem with this statement...

i've been posed the question of whether i would speak up if a taxi driver said something extremely racist and offensive to me when i was sitting in his taxi. my roommates assert that there would be no way one would know that they would say something until he/she were posed with the situation.................... i beg to differ because in a situation like that, you SHOULD know if you know yourself.

THAT BEING SAID...
in this situation, as it is one of life and death, i'm not so sure the answers would be so solid because there is an immediate threat at hand, and people are instinctual and irrational when they are in situations like that. survival mode really does count for something for most people because it is the most basic instinct.

so although i don't usually agree with the "you never know what you're going to do until it happens" statement, in this case, i can see your point. just because it deals with surviving vs. not surviving.

your response is really silly because you state "in the end" i think if it were the end why would anyone want a loved one to die alone or for that matter why live a love one dies there is nothing to live for anymore, I would of let her in if there was help like they said we both would of waited.

Great responses guys!

It's great to see that we don't live in a world full of cowards like movies frequently show.

I was impressed with how people facing death in 911 were thinking of others and ready for action. I recently heard the same during the recent bridge collapse in the US. The people on the phone were again fairly calm and thinking of the other people who might be more hurt than they.

I've spent 18 working in mental health sometimes feeling like a sucker for helping people and not making a lot of money. I'm starting, again, to think that I was right about people all along.

Good job!

Remember that there's nothing he can do to help you. His letting you in will only mean that you'll both die instead of just you.

Of course everyone will rush to say, "I'd let MY spouse in because I'd rather die than live without them," but what loving wife would allow her husband to make that choice? It's lovely and romantic to imagine such devotion, but in fact letting her in would have been an irrational, futile gesture that would contradict the basic human survival instinct.

Furthermore, if you want to talk about cowardice, the pain of watching a loved one die a few feet away, while you do nothing to help - because you can't - is pretty high up there on the grief scale. It's not an easy choice and isn't portrayed as such in the movie.

Wow, what was the name of those shock experiments? I would love to learn more about them, they sound crazy!

I would've let her in and give her a damn good ol' rogering to boot.
