I thought we were supposed to be sympathetic for her?

[nyxelestia]

In the, "yes, she's kind of a jerk, but not out of malice, she's just dealing with a lot of shit in her life and everyone else is stomping all over her and ignoring her struggles and that's why she's an asshole" kind of way.

Were we supposed to see her as unreasonable? That's not the impression I got. I thought that we were supposed to see her as a little on the mean side now and then, but with good reason to be, and that we were supposed to see the rest of the characters as the unreasonable ones. o.O

yeah i don't think we were meant to see her as unreasonable. though the vast majority of people i've discussed the movie with seem to see her that way, which is unfortunate.

Re: I thought we were supposed to be sympathetic for her?

[nyxelestia]

...HOW? I mean, are they all just focusing on the plane scene? Because that was a dickish move, even if driven there by some pretty terrible treatment from her friends. But in the movie overall? How is she unreasonable?

The scene at her best friend's bridal shower clinched it for me. That was the climax of Annie's general assholish behavior towards the wedding. Don't like it? Don't participate! Struggling against what seemed to make the bride happy because it didn't suit Annie was unreasonable when it wasn't like there were chains holding her to the increasingly ridiculous event.

[logicbutton]

I thought so too? Until I read this secret, it never even occurred to me that any reasonable person would interpret her in any other way.

Yeah, same. I thought it was actually a pretty good send-up of what it feels like to be floundering while your friend's getting married. I've been there (not to the extremes of unemployment vs. super-well-off friends, but still), and I completely recognize the way she was acting.

It made the movie uncomfortable at times, but I thought it made it more real, too.
