We may disagree, as I said, but even if everyone else thinks otherwise than you that doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong. Now, if our arguments truly changed your mind, that's great, but if they didn't, you should stick to your guns, I think. Don't feel pressured into agreeing with other people for any other reasons than you actually agree with them.
Disagreement is inevitably going to happen and if I'm to participate as well, I will at times disagree with some people's opinions. That doesn't mean my or anyone else's interpretation is "the right one". There is no right way to interpret art, which I consider film to be. I hope I didn't come off as too pushy, and I'm really sorry if I did, but again, I couldn't possibly participate in any meaningful way if I didn't ever challenge anyone's interpretations.
I'm aware of that, and thanks for backing me up. Sorry for the late reply I've been busy of lately. I'm sticking to my guns on my opinion of the movie, it was good in many aspect and not in others. As far as the actresses that the lead and the supporting roles, Helen did a good job and girlfriend (I forgot her name) her part was quite small. It would of been an interesting twist if they would of met since they looked quite similar as well. I agree with the theory, if it was psychology brake in his mind that would explain his personality split. A hole in the theory though; how could Helen see Adam? Maybe it was the trauma of her life coming to an end cause of the baby. I know something of women and children, from what I have read about it (Not a expert, I can't even get a girlfriend.). When a woman has her first child, the life that was once her's has come to a massive halt and her life changes in a drastic fashion. She appeared to be quite young, I would say roughly about 26 or 27, the thought of her career and life changing must of been shocking.
I think Anthony and Helen both felt that mental shock and were feeding off one a other. Helen wanted her old life back before the pregnancy and Anthony shared a similar desire.
