This might be something deliberately left to interpretation, but I'm assuming Robin left Brian after his (ahem) gentlemanly behavior? That's the new beginning she's referring to, right?
@kevinkeck24334 жыл бұрын
@@UVjoint I think you have it exactly right. Robin is packing up her car prior to Nick's arrival and I always imagined that she left and never looked back. Her last communication with her life in Tennessee was that letter she sends to Nick. But I think by that point she has started a new life somewhere else. That somewhere else is an unknown and can really be anything the viewer imagines it to be (a beach town, a big city, somewhere snowy, etc.).

I always believed that when relationship goes wrong, you either sort it out immediately or end it fast. If you let the situation go on for a long time, it starts to stink and fester, and invariably ends up in very broken heart. The weakest and the most vulnerable is bound to be the most hurt. At times like that you really need a true friend. A very good movie, presented very well.

I'm a former computer/network consultant. One of the pioneer melanated women to go into the field back in the mid 1980s. Even though I've been steeped in technology, I've always loved handwritten letters and cards. MOF - I always keep a package or two of blank cards in my stationary drawer (yes, I still have one of those...plus custom printed address and letter closure stickers 🤭). There's nothing like the personal connection a hand drafted letter with art doodles, or one using calligraphy, can bring into fruition. It implies caring and concern; that you took the time to communicate in an authentic and unique way. Email could never, or ever, replace it. Thanks for the reminder. ---------------

I met a Jamaican cab driver in NYC, my friend and I took his cab from the airport but my friend lost our Host's address. So we had to drive around looking for a last minute hotel stay. We couldn't find a hotel as only 2-3 bookings are accepted on weekends in NYC. Even worst, due to baseball match a lot of hotels were sold out After much calling at phoon booths, driving around aimlessly, the cab driver invited us to stay with he and his wife. He also took us the airport the next day. Rare and exceptional. Long before the days of accessible cellphone, wattsapp etc. Always wished we could have seen him again. My friend assured me she had the address so we could write him. Regrettably she informed me that she lost the address somewhere during our trip home to Jamaica.

I told her to get help, I even asked her if she wanted me to call for her but no. I dont like getting involved unless needed, DV cases especially bcuz you never know. The person needs to be ready to leave if not, theyll just go back. Hopefully my co worker is doing okay.
