(which is just a signifier) because she's much better-off when her mom isn't around her. Theoretically speaking, the young woman who makes such eccentric request doesn't want the actuality of her mother but a steady symbol which represents MOM. ![]() (besides, she IS supposed to go to jail because she DID kill the man.) ![]() ![]() frankly, i don't appreciate the ending, even it does dramatize the flick toward another paramout of "hard-boiled sentiments." personally i find it morbid to request your mom to go to jail just to prove her love for you. I enjoyed this movie because of the performances of the actresses whose accomplished talents transcend the larger-than-life melodrama into believability. ![]()
