Plot Nit-Picks

The third sentence of the Plot section says "Sam remembers Buddy as a distant parent who cheated on his mother". Unless I missed something, Sam does not find out about this until about 2/3 of the way through the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.200.133.51 (talk) 18:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, at the end of the movie, it is not clear that Sam and Pilar have decided to continue their relationship. The audience is left to wonder about that.

Response - Actually, the movie makes it quite clear that Sam and Pilar will continue their relationship. Pilar says something like (paraphrased) "So, that's it, you don't want to be with me anymore?" She also assures him that she cannot have any more children "if that's what the taboo is all about." Sam replies, taking her hand, "If I met you today, I would still want to be with you."

A theme of the movie is "crossing borders" and the incest taboo border is one Sam and Pilar decide to cross because they don't want the past--and secret between the controlling Buddy and Mercedes that has kept them apart and longing for each other for decades--to divide them and cheat them of their happiness once again.
