Someone mentioned feminism. Despite what some might say, what I still see today is that the same story play out in real life as it did in the movie. The “good guys finish last” thing. I’ve had women tell me “Things I shouldn’t tell you - things only us women know and keep to ourselves and certainly not tell men” even when there’s violence involved (very sad), and you see it with  
“I’ll be going home, now. I’ll have supper ready”

Human contradictions… I knew a guy who found a GREAT girl. Everything was perfect, and he said so, but broke it off because, “Not crazy enough. Too normal”.
