Acting was wonderful...But Questions..


1. With the unemployment rate in Marseilles, how would an American get a job?
2. Her sentence for murder was 9 years?
3. No laundry in prison?
4. Allison killed Lina? If you respond, please mark as spoiler.

Rewatch the last 5 minutes for the answer to 4.

The last 4 minutes indicate Allison killed Lina. I don't know anyone else who has viewed this film, so I kinda wanted to....hear something like, "Dang, that was crazy" or "Wasn't expecting that". :)

reply

I don't think you rewatched because that isn't what happened. Allison asked the guy for help removing Lina from the house, he either misunderstood or just accidentally took it too far. Allison put into motion the events that lead to Lina's death but Allison did not directly kill her.

I am a slacker and you caught me.
I fast forwarded after she returned to the states. She was crying and appeared to be admitting something.

I appreciate you not being mean about it.

reply

Haha no problem, I appreciate you being honest about it. Cheers!

wife and i were wondering why she wanted to get her out of the apartment. just for the night? forever?

reply

the daughter said to her dad that her gf (the dead girl) was sleeping around and not taking their relationship seriously, whereas she thought it was the huge love of her life and got totally involved in their relationship thinking it was reciprocal.

reply

Yeah, that's correct! The only thing I don't get how she was murdered? What way did she die?

reply

4 No she did not. She asked him to kick her out. He went overboard.

reply

Thank you. (It's nice to be corrected without the vitriol that often comes with being corrected online).

1. an experienced and capable construction worker (and also white) would have no problem finding a job anywhere in europe. He would also start making good money in no time.

1. It was off the books work and the guy clearly had a lot of experience plus was reliable this goes a long way (he was also willing to take the risk with dumping waste)

2. Yes not sure what your point is they had no solid evidence if you watch the film you can see by the people in it they had no interest in real justice or putting in the work.

3. Again don't understand what you are getting at it's not US and depending on the prison the rules regarding laundry will vary.

4. Not directly but had it re gone to court I expect she would of been found guilty of manslaughter which based on time already served she would of been released or had to serve a few more years it can vary the case was iffy anyway which was explained the system went with the medias claims and we saw the police who had no interest in the truth (This sums up France it really is like this)

If you was going to question anything it should of been how he managed to stay in the country so long and that he had criminal history which can open up another big load of questions about him traveling
