That scene was subtle, but there was definitely some weird vibe in that scene.

firstly, they were both wearing gown. this is what I don't get.

I know why they were wearing just gowns, but it felt kind of forced.

alarm rings at that point? convenient...

and Jules definitely looked seductive when she invited Ben in.

actually, she was forcing Ben to come in.

secondly, Jules said she would sit on the chair and lied on bed instead.

what was that about?

and they both were not wearing socks. (showing barefoot is not something you would do in front of other people unless you feel comfortable with them. I mean, some people get turned on by feet)

thirdly, Jules was vulnerable at the time after she had found out about matt's affair.

okay okay.

I get why they had to have private and intimate conversation, but it could have easily done with there clothes on. Jules could have simply invited Ben to come over and have conversation at a sofa or on the floor.

it looked like Jules hoped Ben to make advance to her.

kind of like "I will not do it so you will"

the reason why this scene made us feel so uncomfortable is this.

audiences didn't want their sweet grandfather-grand daughter relationship to end.

that would make this whole film's point very very weird.

so. I ask again. what was going on Nancy's head????

Best scene in the movie. They did have clothes on, and they WERE comfortable enough with each other to be barefoot... There was nothing sexual about it; it was just informal. It didn't change their relationship. People can lie on a huge bed together without jumping on each other, and neither made a move to do so.

You're nuts. There were no sexual undertones. She just felt comfortable with him there and didn't want to be alone.

I agree with you. It seemed inappropriate, I kept thinking "Oh god no, they're not going to have sex are they..."

The other scene that was pointless was the burglary scene. It was completely out of character; as a father figure I imagine he would have said, "we all make mistakes, just go talk to her and apologize". Rather than break into someone's house and try to access their laptop, with the backup option of destroying it...
