The language with which both men talked about their families as possessions really stuck out to me. It's what led to one being unable to grieve his dead family and the other being unable to connect to his living family. The ending showed how viewing women as mere set dressing for men's lives ultimately leads to tragedy for not just the disposable women but for the men living in misery and loneliness.

@bcstorey I was thinking same thing as OP. There were a few striking times where characters had lines like "She's mine" and "She's mine forever" etc. So it's not weird to consider these things.

@bcstorey not even Deadpool would come up with such a lame comeback. You should look for other comic book characters to base your online personality on.

@sharkiller if you think that men don't feel the same way about women let me introduce you to Andrew Tate and his big following. Trump? Women's rights in 2023? Never read the news?

@sharkiller We are praising the thematic material of the episode. Nolan's Oppenheimer is set during WWII, does that mean we can't bring contemporary understandings of nuclear warfare to it? I'm not sure I understand why you're trying to police the kind of thoughts this episode brings up for people.

@bcstorey you didn't notice anything wrong with the way they talked about women? Maybe you're the one who needs a hug from a woman.
So she learned from the letters that Melmont lied and tried to steal the money from her. That he was a mass murderer.
Yet she decided that it would be wise to meet that man again, all by herself. Seriously, how stupid is that plot?

@silrog it's stated that the postman has just been. The letter arrived moments before Melmont. She likely had no time to do anything . That was my understanding
I can’t believe Candy said no! She is incapable of saving her kid. She doesn’t want other people thinking she failed as a mother so she continues failing as a mother. Marlin is evil but Candy is a different kind of evil.
Such a hard final scene to watch. This episode really conveying the significant message of the show about mental health awareness. The use of Molly Drake’s song “I Remember” in the final scenes is chilling.

She's not evil. She's a victim too. It's heartbreaking.
