everybody was crying in my theatre
It's the first time in my life that I saw that. In the end everybody was crying (except me). It's very strange how can this film be so emotional.
a selfish is a person who only think of me

How was the ending a cliche?
shareExistential cliche. She answers the call from her suitor, "yes, I'm alive again now. I've told my sister I killed my son." Very much a women's film. No men would ever behave like that. A bit unbelievable. And why did the cop have to have shot himself? What purpose did that serve if only to gratuitously add to the woman's misery?? I found it contrived and was glad when it finished.
shareI think Captain Faure saw Juliette at his chance of redemption, the Orinoco was his idea of heaven, Juliette says there's nothing stopping him from going and he realises in that moment that he'll never be with her. There may not appear to be a direct relatio with Juliette's story, in a way he could have his own film on how his life has fallen apart. For her, him reaching the Orinoco, reaching his dream, was a hope for her, she dreams of a new life and when she realised what the Orinoco actually meant for him it made her realise that she could never truly escape the reality of her life.
That was my perception of it anyway.
I think there is indeed a very strong relation to Juliette's story: Juliette could end like him, if her sister did not help her. Without the support of her sister she would have nothing holding back.
shareYour tone is so disdainful and sexist. "Very much a woman's film (and just why do you think this is a bad thing?) No man would ever behave like that" (perhaps if men did we wouldn't be in the crap we now are! I am a man, I cried when Juliete said nothing more than "Thank you" and I knew it was coming but it encapsulated the whole film. It was a beautiful poignant treatment of a relationship between to fully-fleshed out characters, superbly portrayed so you understood their feelings at all times.
If redemption through kindness is a cliché then the world is a sad place.
If you were glad when it finished go see more "Men's films"....they are generally pretty poor fare!
I thought the suicide as well as the mother to be very very cliche and it took u right out of the film, soap opera cliches. The acting was brilliant, in a nasty way b/c of the pain on display.
