Why was he imprisoned in the first place?
No consequences for blowing up the Sept and killing the sparrows -
Why did Piero lose interest at the last minute?
Like a series of "where are they now" segments

Also because it gave them a reason to think they were being targeted by homophobic religious fanatics. What other reason could they come up with when it seemed completely arbitrary that they were the ones chosen?
I watched it specifically because of the novelty of the gay couple.
The whole point of them being gay was because it gave them a reason to think they were being targeted by homophobic religious fanatics, I thought that was obvious. And because in a straight couple, the choice would have been obvious to save the mother and daughter.
Oh, and to trigger pathetic right-wing incel snowflake trolls who cry about and feel threatened by every little thing. Obviously.
I watched it because it featured a gay couple as the protagonists and we almost never see that in a movie where the romance or lgbt themes aren't the focal point. Just being honest.
Yes, I think that was definitely the implication. The music during the scene made it very sinister and dark.
That scene always annoyed me, even as a child. It was just completely inane.
I'm sorry for what you had to go through.
I think it was to drive home the point that they didn't really think of blacks as real people, but just animals - or even objects that they could possess and do what they wanted. And in the eyes of a society that doesn't take missing black people seriously, they were expendable.
They probably also thought it would be easier to get away with because less people pay attention to missing blacks vs whites.
This are some good points. Thanks for sharing!
I mostly agree with you. I did enjoy the film, but I found Catherine to be completely vapid, immature, and insufferable. I liked Jules and Jim separately, and I liked their relationship - but Catherine greatly detracted from all of that. My interested and enjoyment also greatly deteriorated after the war ended, but didn't disappear completely.
