    This was great, so well done! One of my top favorite movies of all time, that I've probably SEEN far too many times, and yet you still made me realize many parallels I don't think I had noticed before. Amazing! ;)

    Character analysis is not very good, doesn’t respect the chronology. The man character doesn’t play a false role in the couple at first, he changes during the relationship, this is really different and central in the couple history.
