Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

To explain the movie, you indulge

in projecting all sorts of meanings. That's fine, of course, but a work should be consistent and give some basis for interpretation, for discussion. Winslet's character was poorly fleshed out, showing no disenchantment or even much pique with how things must have been. DiCaprio, perhaps because of his star status, never was shown particularly to be a bad husband. Winslet never was shown, to go with your interpretation, as being indifferent to him.
But we're discussing stuff which a well-written film shows.
RE: the book. I have little knowledge of it but, because of the abortion, it does make one wonder at the timing? Like with the timing of "Defiance," I have my suspicions that producers aren't dart-throwers.
I just think Winslet's character woefully under-drawn for the momentous act she undertook.
