Birth

[mydogsandme]

The film with Nicole Kidman- I watched this last night and I know I'm thick but...was the boy her dead husband or not? I know it was to do with him having an affair but I'm not clear. Anyone help?

no he's not - The boy manages to slowly convince her of this by telling her excrutiatingly intimate details of the life she shared with her husband Sean, including details of their sexual history. In the end, it is revealed that the boy discovered a box of letters buried by her husband's mistress. These letters are the source of all of his "inside information". The letters were written by Anna to her husband, which he had given unopened to his mistress to prove his love for her. His mistress held on to the letters until she decided she would ruin Anna's wedding plans by showing her the letters and stating her husband's intent to leave her before his death. The young Sean had discovered the letters and believed himself to be her husband because of his love for her. After he discovers the infidelity, he comes to the realization that he can not be her husband because he feels he would never have been unfaithful to someone he loves so much.

thank you spaced- I get easily muddled.

What was the film, it sounds really good.

Can you imagine the outcry if the sexual scenes featured a man and a little girl, as opposed to a woman and young boy? Double standards anyone?

Exactly what I thought, Whickerman.

That kid's cornered the market in creepy kids, he was in "Godsend" as well, which was on straight after "Birth" last night!

I knew I'd seen him in something else! I felt that it was a little bit off too, Wickerman.
