Didn't Get Ending

My interpretation of why Kadee's character was sad is because she recognized that Gere's character was capable of committing violence (he was emotionally abusive and sadistic during past visits at the hair salon where she works as the earlier scenes have implied) and knew that the events would push him over the edge. When it didn't go as planned, she was disappointed at her masterplan falling apart.

Kstreckfus, The reason why Viola Faye (Kaydee Strickland) is upset-sad at the end of the film is because ultimately her sexual depravity fetish is she's an EXTREME Masochist.

When her husband was 'captured' and put behind bars, but she was held as an accomplice but let go-with the stipulation that she had to be on the Sexual Predators List she didn't have anyone to play act her perverted sex games with anymore.

Until Errol Babbage (Richard Gere) took it upon himself to personally and vehemently HOUND her, even from job to job, which seemed to satisfy her needs to be humilated and dominated by a strong Alpha Male. (Mostly-but she still didn't have the sexual outlet..hence the use of Beatrice Bell (Avril Lavigne) who liked to be beaten by her boyfriend what's his name that Viola shot at the end of the movie.)

So everythings okay, until Viola finds out Babbage's being replaced by Allison Lowry (Claire Danes)who falls for Viola's "I'm The Innocent Victim Of What My Husband Did & Now I'm Doomed To Forever Be Hounded Relentlessly By Babbage, Woe Is Me!" baloney hook, line and sinker.

So...thinking she's doing the right thing. Lowry basically says, "That was the old regime. Things are going to be different now that I'm in charg, no more hounding pathetic vitcims trying to piece thier lives back together-because oh a leapord can change it's spots..blah blah liberal tripe."

(Btw, I'm actually a Liberal..I can poke fun at utopian naivety..lol.)

Which sends Viola into an IMMEDIATE state of shock-withdrawl, and like a junkie that needs her fix..the ony way to get Babbage's attention back is to steal another brat-to draw out that retirement-because he couldn't possibly leave his favorite game..

In her mind..Viola's like his lover, and it's just another depraived sexual fetish game. That she doesn't ever want to end. She wants him to loathe her as long as possible, because as long as he does..like right up to the end-when he has her on the farm and she dangled one skeleton for him Ohh goodie he abused her verbally! Threatened her life with the pistol..was he going to kill her? Probably, she was pushing him closer to the edge. She even played a little game of bait-Suggesting she tell the parents what she did to the little girl..oh the audacity of that suggestion nearly ended her life and the thrill was tantalizing..nearly climax inducing for her.

Until Lowry, the voice of humanity and reason showed up. The one that was able to help Babbage keep his savage primal rage in check. That bicth Lowry made him remember he was just a human being, not a judge, jury and executioner. And he certainly wasn't going to simply end Viola's life..Hell no! Not when she could go thru the rest of her life in a boring ass life sentence for multiple premeditated homocides.

Which is why Viola was snivleing at the end on her hands and knees, literally begging and pleading to win her "Lover" back- With morsels that had worked before "More skeletons", "More Tawdry Gruesome News"...anything..but Babbage was done.

It was like he realized at THAT moment HE was the one that was giving a Masocistic sexual predator it's Fix with his Sadistic Meathods.

And he wasn't even really a Sadist at all- He was definately jaded and cynical-and because he'd been on the job too long he felt he had to do something for the victims and he'd become a bit of a vigilante by clobbering the Predators whenever possible. But he wasn't deriving a sexual gratification from it. It was more like he felt he was dealing out justice for the victims, survivors and loved ones with no voices that the justice system failed.

<BIG EXHALE> I want a cookie now..because that was a really long explaination..
Love, Grace & Peace, Gunner


Milosevic. Fujimori. Bush. Obama: Pioneers in electoral inovation.

I think when Claire Danes convinced Gere to not shoot Kandee. Kandee's importance was devalued & she wanted all the attention back to here. Hence her willingness to help find more bodies.
She thrived on the attention & Claire took her oxygen so to speak.
