Could Tina have tried to sail towards Eddie?


It could’ve made a difference.

I wonder that every time I watch this movie. And couldn’t she have at least given him a hand when he was right next to the boat?

reply

My guess is that Tina knows nothing about boats.

It was her boat (Tina’s Joy). Did she just have her boyfriends said her around?

reply

I always thought it was Eddie's boat and he named it for her. I'd have to watch it again but the boat being hers makes more sense.

Maybe she was just looking for a way to dump him and this was as good as any other way.

Something was definitely fishy about their relationship. Always felt like her attempts to help were half hearted.

I disagree. The name of the boat seems far more sensible if it's Eddie's boat.

A very compelling point.

Would he have to paint over the name if they broke up?

She told him "Swim, Eddy, swim!". Eddie should have picked up the pace and swum a little faster.
