Who the livig f--- would say that?? You want to stew in a Thai jail for thirty years out of "friendship"? What a load.
"First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red."
If you don't understand why, you've never had someone who you have cared for at this level. I feel sorry for you.

You don't have to attack someone just because they have a dissenting opinion from you. I simply believe that common sense rules over the contrived nobility portrayed in this movie.
You must be a very sorry person to stoop so low. Hopefully someone will throw you into a Thai jail to rot for several decades, and we'll see if you still believe the same. =)
"First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red."
Did you pay attention to how Darlene always thought she was a little bit more special than Alice ? How Darlene's father let Alice know he thought she was worth less than Darlene. It seems to me all those years of conditioning Alice to think she was worth less is what made her do that. To be honest, I wanted to smash that little *beep* Darlene's face in . She blamed everything that happened there on Alice. Remember " You've ruined my entire life " Right , the little idiot had nothing to do with anything that happened. Neither was guilty of that. Nick looked for the person he thought was stupid enough to get over on and it was Darlene, not Alice. Let's sign a confession written in Thai. Fool ! If Darlene had done the right thing, they would BOTH be there doing the time in prison since they were both innocent.

Darlene only lived that long because of Alice. Every single time something happened you'd hear Darlene say " AAllice " "oh Alice, please help me and do my thinking for me because I'm a spoiled , selfish *beep* "
shareMight be alittle easier planning an escape with one on the outside....
Although I sorta agree.....I woulda have been "I'm getting out of this hell hole"
ok uh do u no wat true friendship is? do u care about anyone...if thats the way u think then u obviously dont care about anyone but urself.....there is no way id let my friend rot in the jail with me if i knew there was a possibility of getting her out....one free is better than none
shareDo you know what proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are?

I think they were trying to make more of point from this story than that Alice did this out of "friendship". She had gotten to a point where she needed so desperately to rebuild her own character and self-worth, so she made what she knew could possibly be the ultimate sacrifice for Darlene and for herself.
"I simply believe that common sense rules over the contrived nobility portrayed in this movie."
True...maybe having Alice offer to serve a double sentence in a Thai jail is a bit extreme to illustrate the point (in terms of storytelling), but anything less that they could have gone through may not have made as strong a statement (to say the least). However, let's not forget that Alice chose to go back without her rather than with her...not instead of her, so it really wasn't that much of a stretch as far as believable "nobility".
Darlene and Alice cared about each other equally, but, for example, if Darlene had given herself up for Alice and said "it was the right thing to do" it wouldn't have made any sense. Darlene was usually "doing the right thing". The story is about Alice evolving, so for her to say that it "was the right thing to do" made sense. Like I said...a bit extreme to make the point? Yes, but it didn't throw me off that much. I thought it was a great point to end on.
Rest in peace, Heath Ledger. You will be missed
She didn't just do it for friendship, but because she knew of the two of them that Darlene had ppl that loved and respected her. Alice didn't have that so she scarified herself. She was seen as a bad girl so she thought she should be punished for her past mistakes.

Well, at that point it was either the both of them who would be in prison for years or just Alice who would be in prison for years. She had nothing left to lose so why not try to save her friend?
shareThat just shows how much more noble this character is then you or I will ever be.
"Mama, I'm in with a criminal."
Not really. Not to mention it's blithely myopic of you to presume how "noble" a complete stranger is or isn't.
"First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red."
Wow. I do not care if she or you is a complete stranger or not, and I do not care what she did before. If she can give up over 66 years of her life to set her friend free, she is noble in my opinion.
