Loved the Movie...but (Spoilers)
Why did she freak out when she saw the drawer filled with notebooks? She only looked at one. It would have made A LOT more sense if she had time to look through all of them and figure it out.
share I don't think it was necessary for her to look through them all. The first book she picked up, titled "Diana" contained all the same poses that Mason had been painting of her. All the other books in the drawer had various girls' names on them. So Amber, and we the audience, can come to the conclusion that the rest of the books are filled with the same poses only different girls. Plus she happened upon them on accident and didn't want to be caught snooping through his things, him being in the next room with the door wide open. She didn't even have time to put the book back before he reentered; she was only able to shove it under the bed.
To me the only thing that would have made the movie more believable would have been if Mason wasn't so obviously disturbed. I find it hard to swallow that Amber, a reasonably attractive and outgoing girl, would want much to do with someone who could barely function socially.
I think that she seemed pretty socially awkward too, in the sense that she talked too much and kind of rambled on a bit. I'm very similar in that sense. I'd describe myself as being very socially awkward but I talk a lot. I'm also attracted to recluse, nerdy types of guys so I can see why she'd be attracted to him. She also sat alone at lunch and was new to the work place so I guess she just saw another lonely person who needed a friend? That's my take on it anyway.
