I liked the movie, but ONE scene CONFUSED me


where was she? when they had that serious argument, then she runs off and he goes all over the city trying to find her.

where did she go?

She then says to him, "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

I thought that was a poignant, memorable, and great line.

I honestly don't see how anyone can hate this movie.

I thought it was amusing to see their interactions with each other; esp. @ the beginning of the movie while courting.

It was entertaining to see them exchanging wise quips.

The ending was sad, but a tad lackluster.

I DID think his soliloquoy was powerful @ the end. I just didn't like the way it ended.

When she goes to the hospital and he holds her while she passes away that was just really sad & heart-breaking.

Then he leaves the room & runs into his father-in-law and matter of factly with sadness in his voice says, "She's gone."

That was really heart-breaking.

That line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry" makes absolutely no sense at all. The essence of love is the petition for reconciliation

Ryan O'Neal sums it up perfectly a few years later in What's up Doc. Towards the end of the film Barbra Streisand says the line to him, he pauses for a second and just says "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now!

That is an AWESOME movie, Steve.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

The only sense I can make of it is if it means 'never HAVING to say you're sorry' because love means you love someone no matter what they did (or failed to do)--so they don't HAVE to apologize.

But yeah it is a petition, normally, and one true love can embrace. https://youtu.be/ZIIi21XPTUw

Or it could mean that someone who loves you would never intentionally hurt you. If the person inadvertantly did something to hurt you, it's understood that the person is sorry; there's no need to say it.

It does make sense, in that Jenny meant that the person you hurt already knows you are sorry and knows you love them. It fits her personality, even though it rankles those of us to feel apologies are necessary.

Where did she go? Well, it was somewhere he didn't look, but then she returned while he was out searching everywhere else. Unfortunately, she didn't have her key and was locked out.
