She was initially very pissed, and understandably, but that would soon wear off,just like grief. She would still be furious, but considering she had no other options, she'd have at least been willing to listen, and it definitely wouldn't have gone on for weeks, as it seemed too. Pissed or not, she cared about him, she would have dealt with the situation in front of her, probably sooner than later.
shareI agree. Was she really going to spend the rest of her life talking only to Arthur? I think a more interesting film would have been them working it out gradually. I dunno: maybe it starts by Jim hiding out somewhere on the ship, for months on end. He probably knows the ship better & has more practice at solitude than Aurora. For all she knows he's gone out the airlock. It's manipulative, but also permits her to see what things were like from his pov.
shareBrilliant. This would’ve made for a better film than an emergency
shareIt ~was~ gradual. After Aurora discovers the truth and they split up, Jim plants a tree in the ship's deck. When Gus wakes up, the increased size of the tree was meant to clue the viewer in that quite a bit of time had passed. It was meant to indicate Aurora had had plenty of time to think about things and shift her attitude. It's a two hour movie, they can't show us every single little milestone in her gradual acceptance of her situation and understanding of why Jim did what he did. The emergency was simply when she finally crossed the line.
shareNot sure I agree wrt the tree & passage of time. Aurora, after all, never says anything to Jim about nearly drowning as the ship's gravity fails. She even argues with Gus that Jim "murdered her". So I don't see her coming around until the emergency with the ship is revealed.
