In the end she settled. Belinda walked out rather than giving her advice because she realised her rich person’s problems were nothing compared to her’s. This in turn led Rachel to realise she’s lucky to be privileged…so she chose to compromise her ideals and live with that.
My opinion is that it subjectively symbolises Mrs. paradine’s hold over the lawyer. It’s almost as though he is hypnotised even when he isn’t close to her. It’s one of those very subconsciously suggestive devices that Hitchcock tends to use. That’s how I see it, anyway.
Yes, I have seen that.
Of course, it’s much easier to say that Ben killed her, and that burning greenhouses is a metaphor for that….but I still think there might be something to the surgery angle. Maybe it’s true that you can’t completely change a person’s face, but I do think there is enough similarity between the two women’s faces to suggest it might not take too much work. Also, I do remember reading that burning barns or greenhouses was a term that alluded to plastic surgery in Korean culture….unfortunately I can’t remember where I read this, but it must have been on Reddit, I think.
What I found interesting about the hand scene was the call back to a previous scene in the film. When Samir and Marie are in the car and Samir has his hand on the gearstick…Marie puts her hand over his and grips it as she closes her eyes and maybe drifts off for a second. It’s like an eerie foreshadowing of the final scene. I love these kinds of touches that add to the complexity of the drama.
No. I think you’ve got the wrong person.
Yes. I watched it today. I tend to watch it maybe every third Christmas.
I thought they were perfect castings…particularly Kieron Kulkin…I almost feel like it was him who appeared in Welcome to the dollhouse.

It’s in my top 100.
