movie

1) I think the title of the film suits it perfectly in that no one actually ever got what they wanted, but in fact were burdened by their desires throughout the entire movie. The man did not ever get to sleep with the young girl, though that seemed to be his only desire throughout the whole film. She in return never settled down, her desire was never fully figured out because she seemed to hate the man and only use him for his money. He also had trouble pulling himself away from watching her make love to the young man. His desire was so obscure that his mind became twisted.
5) Matheiu is the narrator for a few reasons. First of all it is used as a device to set the scene, it is much easier to tell the story with little background of the characters when a story is being told. Maybe a few months past in the only necessity to tell a story. Also we see the man as a generally smart person, so to relive his acts it makes sense to have a therapist sitting next to him and analyzing all of his mishaps. I think it is a very easy way to have someone deal with the awful issues and the unbelievable lies that the woman puts him through.
