Stupid. Where was the respect?

The guy she cheats with was a d0uche bag. Once a woman tells you she's married back off. Plus the way he talked to her was sh*tty. "@sshole, Shut up". I know he was trying to be cute but this pr*ck doesnt even know her to joke like that. And she just giggles like a mentally disabled person.
These types of movies annoy me. The grass isn't always greener @sswipes. This is a young persons mentality. Cheat cuz you're bored then regret blah blah. How about Va Fongul?

I don't agree abt the children, sometimes it would be much better if she left if they had children
coz that type of mothers won't make a healthy environment for the kids, that type of marriages also and the way she is gonna treat the husband.

I am not sure whether ur reply was to my post or not as I didn't receive a notification
in case it wasn't then I am so sorry, in case it was here is my reply:
we don't know, we can assume though
a conversation abt courage and seduction they had when he was cooking can tell u a lot abt it, might not happen in front of the kids but kids can sense that kind of tension and would wonder why is their mother not happy with that kind dad who is trying to make her happy but failed
I myself would've wished if my parents were divorced instead of being like that, they love each other but the mother is not happy
she has issues and it is her fault but as a kid I couldn't understand that
that is the type of environment I assume she would provide and it wasn't healthy for me.

aha ok.
yep the unhappiness in the home which in my opinion is Margot's fault and she is responsible for it so that is why I thought she prolly won't be a good mother as a mother's responsibility is to make that healthy environment
whether she was unhappy or bored or anything like that, it is still the same
she would appear unhappy to her kids while she is married to a good man so that would be confusing to them
I understood her, I always thought that the beginning of any relationship has shinning moments and is way more interesting than after that
she was after those shinning moments, maybe not unhappy maybe just bored but she was clearly not mature enough to understand that at this moment in her life
caring for small children might have changed her but I was talking if she was exactly the same and there were kids
I didn't understand the alcoholic woman, was she her sister or Lou's? was Tommy her niece? that might be a good example of how she would be around kids
also I didn't understand why the police arrested the alcoholic woman
thanks, it is hard yeah especially as a kid.

Entirely accountable for her part, it was her fault that she wasn't happy or bored
yep her husband might have been able to make it work if he was super but he didn't need to be, she could've told him from the beginning
same thing if he was the one who wasn't happy or was bored, it would be totally his fault
I understand ur point, being protective and gentle etc...
but that is her with them, I am talking abt her in the marriage as an example to her kids
how she is gonna treat the dad, how is she gonna be seen acting as a result to unhappiness or boredom
if she left she wouldn't take them with her, she wouldn't have to I think and Lou wouldn't let her
that way the kids won't see her problem with their dad or her marriage to him
like if the parents were fighting all the time, wouldn't it be better if they were divorced instead?
here in this case in the movie the kids might be able to witness a lot of the conversation that happened when he was cooking abt the seduction thing, if not that then it would be something else where the kids would be confused that both parents r good human beings but can't work it out.
thanks for explaining, I thought she was his sister then when she talked to her I thought she was her sister and telling her she is better than her or something.

I am really sorry but I was confused by ur reply as English is not my first language and I must've missed some points
I understand u think she is the perfect type and I don't know why, she left everything for the fling and she is not mature enough or responsible enough to make good decisions
if she stayed with Lou she would always wonder abt the fling and would it make her happier, she would be unhappy
that would be confusing to her kids, seeing that Lou was a perfect dad and Margot was a perfect mother but yet they or she ain't happy in that marriage
I assume every kid thinks of his parents as the perfect example, I think like that abt my parents and couldn't get why my mom seems unhappy
I knew later that she had issues, nothing would be good enough for her=
but I hate marriage and commitment, I hate responsibility and I don't want to have kids and be a bad example for them
so my reply was in case there was children and in case she was that unhappy we saw in the movie, that wouldn't be a healthy environment for kids and it is better for them if she left or got a divorce than to stay just for them
the last two lines I didn't get them at all, what is Eva Alone and what did u mean by those two lines?
excuse my English it is not my first language.

thank you mate
ur whole idea is based upon the fact that Margot was not happy with Lou coz he didn't make her happy and it is his fault while she is attracted to Daniel as he is ideal for her
but I don't think that this is the case in this movie, she wasn't happy with Lou after 5 years and she wasn't happy with Daniel too later as she left him at the end
the problem was with her not Lou or Daniel, she was searching for the spark that only exists in the beginning of any relationship
that is why the movie started with her in a scene where she leaves and goes to stand in front of a mirror and at the end we see the complete scene again where she hugs Daniel from behind and leaves him
that means she left him as she left Lou and was alone at the end
coz the problem was not Lou or Daniel, it was Margot
I am not sure if she grew up or not but she certainly left Daniel and even wanted Lou to take her back but he refused and told her something just stuck
I didn't watch that Eva movie u r talking abt so I don't understand the rest
perfect happiness is something that comes from inside u, u have to find it on ur own b4 getting into a relationship and if u can't find it on ur own u will never find it with someone else
in the movie Margot wasn't happy on her own, she used the spark in the beginning of her relationships to forget abt her happiness and she needed to grow up and find her own happiness b4 having a relationship.

How does he "win points" for not forcing himself upon her?

People don't win points for not doing something nobody should be doing full stop. You don't get points for not being a rapist, because that's just something that you should never do to begin with.

And he was bordering on stalking her for a lot of the film.

[–] IL_Maestro 11 years ago

I don't agree, although I wouldn't do what he did but I can't blame him
at least he had fun with the least effort, she was so cheap and easy and if he didn't do it then someone else would've done it
I agree though that this type of movies annoy me too, I really can't stand this idea and I agree it is a young person's mentality but not always young ppl, just young brains I guess
what is Va Fongul?

I dont think she cheated at all...i think the whole ending was in her head. It all ended with her beeing alone and he never found her down at the beach.

[–] fourth_time 10 years ago

Dang it, @parished, now I have to watch this movie all over again. Because what you're saying makes more sense than anything else I've read on the ending so far. But now I need to re-watch with this theory in mind. I had thought that part where she turns around at the beach and he's there, saying, "There you are" seemed too contrived.
