Some thoughts on Jerome and Audrey (possible spoiler alert)


Did Audrey appreciate art? I think if she 'really' did, then she would have liked Jerome.
Also, since the artists didn't like police, I think she would've become mentally ill (not just embarrassed) when she found out that she was being used by Jonah (undercover cop).

I don't know about that, all I know is that I thought she treated Jerome like crap through the whole movie and I was really wishing he would have figured it out and ditched her instead of being blinded by her looks and dealing with it. TOTALLY did not want them to get together in the end. then again, I may be just jealous...I want a beautiful sensitive artist boy like Jerome for myself hahaha

And she also talked smack about her own dad, which is pretty messed up. Sure she's hot, but she also seemed like a real bitch.

Well, she did notice him as the movie went along eh?
I mean, she could've ignored him since she is with Jonah and all the other major art people but she didn't. She even went as far as to dig the trash for his painting even before Jerome became infamous. Sure she is pretentious as most art people there but that doesn't change the fact that she saw something interesting about Jerome.

About the topic, well she liked Jerome's work as pointed out by her interest in the painting she saw before.

she was as pretentious as the rest

which is what clowse and zweigoff are trying to make the audience understand

love and lust are blind

jerome sees her as his muse, so he looks past her shallow self

he will tire of her in a few years

Bacci40 is right. She is fake and pretentious as the rest.
Her only interest was to that the next famous artist from that class and she did.
Jonah was the next big thing and she went for him.
Jerome only came into the picture when she found out Jonah was a cop and she said something like "How could I be so stupid"...
Maybe she liked Jerome a lil bit ...but her priorities were obviously with the next big thing which was Jonah.

I think the movie was well made in the sense that no one has the moral high ground here. Really exposes people and their motivations in a realistic way.

"Mentally ill", I didn't mean it literally. What I'm saying is that the 'artists' are anti-authority. Remember when the police got suspicious of another art student (earlier in the movie) just because his/her work was about death?

Think about it:
You're a rebel. You produce art from whatever is on your mind. You don't like the police (aka the government) telling you what you can/can't draw/paint/sculpt. And then, you find out that a COP was USING you in order to arrest an artist. Do you think you might get the feeling that you betrayed what you stand for?

So, did Audrey appreciate art?
