This movie left so many unanswered questions it was upsetting that it ended with everyone wondering. I think it was a very sad movie and it was hard to watch Alicia go through this struggle about Gabby. You could see it on her face when her best friend was telling her that horrifying story. From that point on, she was not the same and could not get it off her mind. She hinted around to many different people, seeing if they knew anything. She cried at some points thinking about her suspicions, but never really belted out how she felt. It was clearly ruining her marriage and the relationship with her best friend.
I think the reason Alicia struggles so much in deciding what to do, is because she wants the best for Gabby. Does she do the right thing, and try to find Gabby's birth parents, and believe what that lady is saying and she is her grandmother? Or does she keep protecting her, knowing that her and her husband are raising her properly and giving her the best life she can have? This film keeps us in anticipation of what happens.

Jenna,
ReplyDeleteI agree about most of the points you made. When she hears her friend's story, it does set off her investigation. She did hint her thoughts to many people, but never really brought it all out there. I believe the movie suggested that Gaby's parents were dead, more than just lost. Her friend was one of the lucky ones who got away, as she married a guy who was a communist or communist militia member. These groups sometimes used violence to prove their ideals. To that point, the military retaliated, resulting in the disappearance of about 11,000 people.

Well, really I could probably infer that the parents at some point will no longer be together. As far as Gaby, Alicia will continue to take care of her since she is the only reason and purpose besides her teaching job.
ReplyDeleteInteresting information Chris? where did you get it?
