Rewatching and I am floored

at how many chances and opportunities for forgiveness Gordo gave him. He never once brought up " the incident," and constantly gave Bateman's character the chance to say a simple "my bad."

Great movie, the ending was perfect.

BTW, Gordo was anything but crazy - I felt for him in every way, shape, and form; he never hurt any single person in this movie but for calculated effect. Even then, what he did was effect only.

Have seen this about 10 times and I am fascinated by it. Excellent story, acting and moral.... The audio commentary on the DVD is good...

He violated Robyn, who did absolutely nothing to him. He might not have raped her, but he drugged her and started to take her clothes off while she was unconscious. That's creepy as hell, just like Gordo.

OK, that's correct, the drugs didn't really bother me, and he did not sexually assault her and truly thought she was a good person and treated her as such.

From there, I still think the way he approached the situation was perfect.

It's a stupid movie written to jerk your emotions around. Are you that gullible?

So, I guess you would rather watch a test pattern.

Why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport! We all know it!

He gifted them the fish, so no net loss. If he had hurt the dog I would've turned it off.
