--Scuse me a minute while I look her up on IMDB--
Well, she's still acting but not as much, it seems.
This movie was sort of slow-paced, very talky, and nothing but romance, which is not my number one choice of movie, but I still found it somewhat interesting.
I like how at the end (spoiler alert) he doesn't go in to see her. I guess he just wants to keep her in his mind the way he imagined? Not sure but it's pretty interesting considering he says his wife didn't give him a choice and that's why he stayed, but now he is being given a choice and he's still not being with the other woman.
I think the point is that even though his wife "told him" he couldn't go, she actually was asking because he actually could have done whatever he wanted. So ultimately he wanted to stay true to his commitment despite what he felt he wanted, and he still did even after his commitment was dead.
I think that's cool. Because he should have just not married May in the first place, but since he did, he needed to stay true to his decision, especially considering she gave him an out during their engagement. She wanted it to be longer so he could have time to decide about another woman. That really is "noble," as Michelle Pfeiffer's character says.
How hard it is once you have someone you love to not try to clench your fists around them no matter what the truth may be.
