MAJOR SPOILER did that guy love jasmine


do you think that potential fiancé really loved jasmine? To break up with her for that seemed petty

Yes she lied but anyone could see she lied because she was embarrassed and the facts remain her hubby was dead and she had no kids so what

No, he did not love her. They'd only been together for five minutes. He saw in her the ideal wife for his future political prospects, just like her dead husband saw her as the perfect rich man's trophy wife able to act as the perfect social butterfly in affluent circles.

I wondered if Dwight was also a fraud in some way, someone who wanted to take advantage of her. The big empty house with the incredible view, completely empty--I wondered if he was a real estate agent or helping a "real" owner watch over it.

Hmm, maybe I will watch the film again. But I was thinking a bit about Sante and Kenneth Kimes.

Spend some money to keep up the front ...

@Supermoviebuff. In my opinion I don't think Dwight loved Jasmine.It seemed like he liked her appearance.She was dressed classy/sophisticated.She appeared intelligent enough.The career he had seemed like Jasmine would make the perfect wife for him.However I don't believe Jasmine loved him either.I think Dwight was exactly what she wanted.Which is a man who's substantial and will take care of her like Hal did, only legally this time.

I think he loved her but not enough for most single person to marry her so soon.

I think his loneliness through being widowed, and the fact he was going away soon, accelerated the courtship process. Had he moved away without her she might not have waited for his return.

Her lies weren't petty though. And no, I don't think he loved her, infatuated perhaps, but love no. Besides he needed to have a politician's wife, he thought he had it in her until the revelation. She would be the last one you would marry if you want to enter politics.
