So it left on a somewhat positive note but would have been SOOOO satisfying if this was added:
1. They showed Anna at the court, having the marriage annulled
2. They showed Christian slitting his wrists in the same bathtub his mom killed herself in
3 is optional. Still unsure how I feel about cheating Charlotte:
Oliver and Hedvig getting into a truck with a loaded trailer, driving away while showing Charlotte in front of the house, crying.
I don't think Charlotte actually cheated as she and Oliver weren't officially dating yet.
How about 4. Everyone forgives everyone, Hedvig survives, the factory reopens, and everyone lives happily ever after (not realistic perhaps, but, it's what I want.
Yeah, that's why I said I'm not sure about Charlotte. Your ending sounds peachy keen, jelly bean but Christian was such a POS!
shareBut life isn't a Hollywood ending I'm afraid makdog65.
She was with Oliver at the time. He had major issues going on with alcohol, his mother dying and his father going to jail.
In one night Oliver learns, his wife cheated on him at his lowest ebb. She loved Henry over him. Would have left Oliver for Henry but Henry kicked her to the curb after his wife died. Oliver was her second choice. Had him work under Henry for 20 years knowing she cheated and bore the man's child. And oh yeah, not telling him that Hedvig wasn't his. Or telling Hedvig the truth.
We don't know if they ever tried for another child, but damn that's pretty tough to be fair. That you were sloppy seconds for her but she gradually grew to love him. I hated he hugged and said sorry to her at the end, ugh. She should be on her knees saying sorry to him.
I watched the film a few times now, I came out of the film more angry at Charlotte every time I watch it. I think she's up there with Christian as just nasty piece of work. Felt bad for both Hedvig and Oliver in this one. Hedvig didn't deserve it, she was just born into this mess.
