Does Ellis' mother also know the truth at the end of the movie??


She tells Ellis the truth at the end of the movie, but does Ellis' mother also know???

reply

Probably but in any event, it's still seriously messed up shít.

Ever time they meet the family (thanks giving, Christmas, weddings, holidays etc) they all have to sit together knowing that dad... boned her too.

Its a twisted, perverted load of sht. Why would a father want his son to bang his ex lover? Sick trash. It bored me to tears. It dragged on and on like a nightmare prison of boredom. Dear me!! Who made this crap?

reply

It must be so uncomfortable watching a movie with a gun to your head. How did you mange that?

reply

Back to the mother......... yes it would have been really uncomfortable to see your son with the woman that your husband could never forget.

And then have her at every birthday, Christmas, every holiday down the road. Why couldn't Ellis be a friend of the family? Why did he have to be her son?

So gross........ poor mom.

reply

I don't think they tell Ellis' Mom, meaning the rest of their lives, they live in deceit.

But I think telling her would really creep her out. That the ex-girlfriend that her husband was infatuated with, is staying there for holidays. And he has to still be attracted to her.

She would know. They started callin gher Adaline. Even if they called her Della, she would know these names, and would know they stopped calling her by Jenny. I doubt they switch to calling her Jenny just for occasions that involved her. Plus, Adaline wanted to stop running/hiding.

reply

Yeah, they probably didn't and shouldn't tell the wife. And she will forever be Jenny, unless she says her first name is Adaline but chose to use her middle name. But that would be weird if she went back to Adaline for the wife to hear that name constantly for the rest of her life.

reply

That would be weird.
But in the one year later scene he now calls her by her real name. Do they do use her alias in public or around the family?

reply

Doubt it. It is what it is.
