Michael....(some spoilers)


First I have to say that he looked kinda creepy as soon as he appeared on screen. I'm surprised that women aren't up in arms about how their gender is portrayed in many of these LMN movies. Here we have an obviously intelligent business woman who has had experience with a man (ex husband) who didn't know how to let her go and she doesn't recognize Michael's inappropriateness right away and set professional boundries with him. His poetic quotes, his comment about affairs of the heart, the photo at dinner, the gift of a book, lunch date, calls at home, all this and she doesn't immediately see the red flag. Instead she makes a lunch date with him? She comes across as pretty damn naive. Even at the point when she becomes suspicious of his motives and still gets in the car with him. If I were a woman, I would be insulted.
