I can not admit chris's reasons 4 killing his beloved affair!

He kills Nola because just like in Crimes and Misdemeanors, she was going to go to Chloe and admit that she was pregnant with Chris' baby. He didn't want that because he would be ruined.

Good you don't understand. That means you do not think like a sociopath, such as Chris, would. Congrats. :)

Chris did not love anybody but himself.

Chris gave some reasons for killing Nola, but they are just ridiculous! here are some ; he had a perfect job that he didn't want to miss, his father-in-low support him in any matter, he didn't want his wife find out about his affair, he knew that he's future is not going to be fine with Nola, and Nola's pressure,and... SO WHAT????!!!!!!!!!!!!
you don't murder someone who drives you crazy ,someone you can not live without ,someone that you love the most ,and... because of these reasons!

Nola was sexy, yes, and she knows how to give a guy a good time and make him feel like a MAN!

But she was also the following:
- high school dropout
- poor
- not-ambitious
- not well read
- a bad actor
- a bad auditioneer
- she can't get her own man
- white-trash
- surprised that her lover would rather spend time with his family on holidays
- thinks table-tennis is foreplay
- has a dumb accent (gosh, do we all talk that way? how boring)
- no one in her life to tell her what she is doing is wrong
- no one in her life that would miss her when someone kills her
- she never knew what love was, just lust and infatuation
- and most of all.......she was DELUSIONAL!!!!!!!!!

I specifically reminded her - bedside table! On the Kangaroo!

The only reason why this film was made, is to show that there is no justice in this world. Many things in life are a matter of luck, a matter of "moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose".
And to communicate this message this film makes awkwardly use of a far-fetched character like chris and not authentic circumstances.

This thread is really stupid; or it's the wording.
You are trying to make what you call love (a word for so many different emotions) into something reasonable that is supposed to mechanically follow a path; so you state your opinion making it appear as if you don't understand the motives, but it is not a question, it is a moral judgment, a statement of what he should feel like. Of course it's dangerous to be like that, but emotions cannot be argued, and it could happen to some crazy person, but to pass moral judgment over a film character's actions is kind of nonsense. That's the stuff stories are made of, and there isn't a way to get into the fictional character's mind by saying it's wrong, I'm sure even if he was a real person it wouldn't change anything. But you still need the police.

Most normal people don't, someone who puts money and status over everything else does. He was overcome with greed, this is why greed is considered one of the 7th biggest sins, too much of it can ruin a person. He wanted everything - Money, sex and power. And had it. Money and power and flash cars and his own driver and fancy dinners and big home and working in a top business and being able to buy anything he wanted and the respect of so many people and also had a woman who he made give in to his charms. He decided he wanted her, he chased after her, he got her. Slept with her as many times as he wanted then disposed of her as soon as he wanted.

Hes greed turned him psychotic. So he wasn't a normal person.




Ashmi any question

Of course they were ridiculous and any moral person would agree. Your talking about murder. There are NEVER justifiable reasons to murder someone. So of course the reasons for killing her were ridiculous. You could pile a hundred more reasons on top of it and it would still be ridiculous. Of course, that is from the standpoint of a morally sound person and Chris was NOT a morally sound person. Chris's entire existence basically revolved around using people for his own gain. Egocentric, self centered, and narcassistic are just a few terms that come to mine that perfectly describe Chris and speaking from his viewpoint, there were more than enough reasons given as to why he should kill her.

First off, everything he had been working for the entire film would be destroyed. He even mentions to his friend at the end of the film that he had gotten used to a certain lifestyle. The cars, the clothes, the food, the wine, the activities, the social status, the money, his job, etc. All would be gone in the blink of an eye if Nola were to have exposed him. Believe me, people have been murdered for a LOT less.

The most important thing that your failing to realize is that Chris didn't love Nola. He was insanely attracted to her and even infatuated to a point, but he was certainly not in love with her. Their entire relationship revolved around passion and sex, not love. In my opinion, the film is VERY clear in this regard. Nola is an amazingly sexy woman and Chris is attracted to her from the second he meets her, but we don't ever see anything in this film that would make one think Chris was truly in love with Nola.

Still Shooting With Film!
