Why the woman saved him? (Spoilers)


At the end, she sacrifices herself to save Eric and the cat. Why didn’t Eric volunteer to cause the distraction so that she and the cat could live? The woman had the save the man?

reply

Did you miss that she was terminally ill? She was ready to die.

reply

That detail must’ve came out during some of the romance exchanges between her and Eric, I admit that I sort of tuned out for those scenes

reply

That detail came out right at the beginning, she was in hospice. Her being terminally ill was a pretty big part of the story.

reply

It wasn’t made clear she was terminally ill. She was in some sort of group therapy / counseling, and she put some patches on her body. That’s what I recall . It wasn’t said that she was dying

reply

I saw it the same way you did.

reply

The place she is at in the beginning of the movie was hospice. That's where people go when they a terminally ill.

reply

All terminally ill people go to the hospice, but not all people who go to the hospice are terminally ill

reply

Hospice is for people with 6 months or less to live. You can see the character is sick and that she's in hospice.

If you couldn't put two and two together, that's your fault. Notice you're the only one confused here.

she literally said she was dying... did you watch the movie???
