Mark's paternity?


Did anybody else get a vibe that perhaps Kevin was Mark's father?

If he was, Colette may have decided not to tell him and keep that from him, for her own reasons (like he leads a dangerous life and her life is dangerous enough at home without adding another PIRA warrior to her life as a long term partner or husband).

When Kevin offered Colette something to get Mark a birthday present, it had a certain discomfort to that scene. It's as though Kevin is suspicious Mark may be his son, even though Colette hasn't told him.

^You could be right, but it never occurred to me. You could ask where is Colette's dad? for that matter. Many men died during and after the Troubles.

I re-watched this movie yesterday. Definitely no attraction on Collette's part with regard to Kevin, but he may have liked her and possibly been rebuffed. When he searched her room he was sniffing her perfume maybe as a way to remind himself of how nice she smells.
