Talk about loose ends. It seems like the lady had a husband but than it showed she did not. Just thought it was weird and unnecessary to go back and forth whether she was married or not. Can someone explain this to me .
shareMy guess is, and the only saving grace of this film, was that all the 'flashbacks' were created in the other persons mind.
Meaning, when the mom and the gunman saw each other, they quickly noticed little things, and had created a back-story.
So, when the mom saw the gunman's 'Lock it' storage jacket, bloody eye, and bottle of pills, she played in her mind what his life was like: He needed money because of his fathers ailment, was down on his luck, got beat up doing something to get himself cleared of his debts.
When the gunman saw the mon in her maid uniform, with her kids goofy boots, he made up her story: She was a single mom trying to work hard to help her less-than-normal son.
My guess is...as far as the husband goes...either the gunman thought she was married at one point, separated at another...I'm thikning maybe 'he' couldnt make up his mind about 'her' life, in the way he was creating her story.
Know what i mean?
Just my take on it.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Yes she was married, to the 7th grade school teacher. They are together, but he didnt approve of her going to the prison every year...thats why when she calls him up at the jail and says "I suppose I'm going to have to go thru this alone", he tells her that it wont bring him back, and he cant go thru this anymore.
Yes, I thought the call at the beginning was a pretty strong indicator she was married.
Also, at the end she tells Saul that she doesn't see her husband's face or son's face when she wakes up, she sees his (or something like that). That part wasn't in a flashback, so I think it's pretty safe to assume she did have a husband?
