David and Amanda


Are we supposed to feel a flirty vibe from them? Maybe not flirty exactly. But it feels like there's something there.

No. David was married and was trying desperately to get home to his wife. I believe Amanda was new in town and had only been introduced to David that day, so no. It was survival.

reply

Oh I know he was trying to get home to his wife, she was new, it was survival, etc. Just seemed like a spark in the sense that she was acting maternally toward his son, and had they both lived it might've blossomed (presuming his wife did not)

Amanda was a third grade teacher. That would have been the same age as David's son. And the casting was a mix of good chemistry.

In the book they sleep together. I always figured the movie was just following the book but more subtle.
