Nick and Honey

I just finally watched this for the first time, yesterday on the new warner blu ray. I didn't immediately catch the reveal about the son; but now the only lingering question I have is were Nick and Honey even real? If they were, what person in their right mind would ever stay in that situation for longer than like 10 minutes. They couldn't have been real. If George and Martha were already completely wasted and had their toxic marriage where it resorted to the elaborate games and scenarios, this just had to be another one, right? This film was so amazing, I had almost no idea what to expect. It was almost exhausting by the end of this rollercoaster of just raw and visceral emotion. Also can't believe Mike Nichols was able to make something so close to perfect as his first full-length film

If you think Nick and Honey were made up, you missed the whole point of the movie. They stayed longer than 10 minutes because they knew, on a gut level, that they would be George and Martha in twenty years.

Martha is still the only daughter of the president of the college Nick just hired onto --- A little ass-kissing goes a long way in academics
