Am I the only one who got really furious at the climax of the film, when Jill calmly announces to Don that she is running off with Ralph? She seems so cold and distant about the whole thing and it was like she had a brain fart and had forgotten everything she shared with Don.

That bothered me too, and made her quick change of mind hard to believe.

Watch a little closer. Her voice is shaky and you can tell how uncomfortable she is having to do it. It was Don's MOTHER that caused the whole thing, by taking her to lunch and scaring her the way she did. She never wanted to leave with Ralph in the first place, she was just scared. She told Don in the beginning that she didn't want to hurt him or anybody. That is why she feared committment so badly.
shareNow that I think about it, you are absolutely correct, because in that scene where she tells Don she's leaving with Ralph, she has difficulty looking Don directly in the eye. It is difficult for her and it makes perfect sense because of what Mrs. Baker said to her in the car. And yes, Jill made it clear from the beginning that commitment was not one of her strong points.
sharein that scene where she tells Don she's leaving with Ralph, she has difficulty looking Don directly in the eyeNow you're getting it! And now you're beginning to see what an incredibly subtle and talented actress Goldie Hawn has been all these years!
I think that is the contrived nature of a dramatic play such as this. She goes from no one to Don to Ralph and back to Don all in the space of two days. I mean, Free Love is great, but I don't think it was ever THAT free!
I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
