Liked it. Much to discuss. First can you buy that a beautiful janitor, 34, Nicole Kidman, would want to have an affair with Anthony Hopkins, who must be in his 60s? I didn't buy it but some in my movie group did. I suspended reality for that part of it and it didn't ruin the movie. It's all about living a lie. Our main character, Hopkins, was living a lie. He gave up so much, his family too, so he could be a successful Classics professor. I wonder if he regretted that. It didn't make him very likeable if you aks me (foreshaddowing, haha). Not being a woman, I don't know, but if I just wanted sex, wouldn't I pick a 20 something rather than a 60 something, egghead professor, who is gonna want to talk and have a relationship? I don't know how women think. I mean he did help her when her car broke down afterall. That usually leads to hot sex (at least in the movies).
