The ending + low IMDb rating? (possible spoiler)


First of all I'd like to start with giving giving my compliments to the actors and directors of this film. I enjoyed this film alot.

This film was about : trying to succeed in life, friendship , affection , caring about others. Such things can not be found easily nowadays. Especially not between people.

This film made me think about how much people there are in this world , who think that their future is already waisted. Many people just need somebody , somebody to encourage them. to reach their dreams and goals , and start to become alive.
And how this world is self-centred , egoistic , arrogant, hard. Everything is hard. We can make is easier if we just listen and help eachother.

I like these themes and how they can be seen in this film.

Therefore I think that the rating of this film is too low. I expected it to be a 7.5 but it's only a 6.8 ,while i'm writing this.


And what's with the ending? Are ''they'' supposed to have sex? Because 'him'' named sex in his list so I was thinking that ,that also could be added to Scarlet's list. And why aren't they seeing eachother again? Why wouldn't they?

Does any of you has an opinion about this?

I think it was just one of those passing by encounters that people have. they both had their own lives, and he has a wife and children.

it wasn't about sex. it was about 2 people connecting in a random, unexpected encounter and changing each others lives for the better. it transcends sex which is purely physical and only about the "now". the effect they had on each other was much greater than any sexual encounter could ever achieve.

The movie was about a mismatched pair who found a connection with each other.
