What was wrong with crowes wife?
Thanks.
shareShe is catatonic. Read up on it here: http://www.minddisorders.com/Br-Del/Catatonic-disorders.html
shareDid the movie say how she got that way?

No it didn't, and that really pissed me off. And also, we have this young man who's supposedly a psychopath and yet he displays complete inner devastation over his new friend jumping to her death. Stupid.
Just another detail that the director omitted. There's a difference between 'mysterious' and 'illogical' or 'sloppy'. This movie was an example of the latter.
I never saw this movie advertised in Boston. Did it go straight to DVD?

I felt it was not mentioned because it was not important. How she was disabled was not relevant, just that she was and that was the source of the "pain" that crowe comes to crave in his life, which be mentions in the opening narrative. It could have been a car accident, a fall, or whatever, it wouldn't change the movie at all.

Holy flying negroes way to miss the entire point of the movie damn *beep* share
I was under the assumption that the wife was injured in a car crash which also killed their child. I assumed this as Crowe's character stopped and tendered to a roadside memorial. Why would you stop in the middle of nowhere and fix a cross where someone had died? So I think it was a devasting crash.

Being married to Russell Crowe, I should imagine.
