who ripped the guy apart more..the bear or the girlfriend?


cause that one scene was terrifying to watch....no...I'm not talking about the bear eating the boyfriend like he was a candy bar....I am talking when the girlfriend unleashed on him a verbal assault that would have sent Alexander the great back home to mommys bosom. the things she said were so cutting and terrible that my face actually turned red on his behalf. I was expecting that song "Im sorry" to start playing after when she was sitting there after hearing he was going to propose to her.

kinda of a weird message in the movie also....it was slight but I kinda picked up on it. like that guide was the guy she should have been with in her mind....he was mysterious and an adventurer...and she obviously liked him at first site as she invited the stranger to eat with her and her boyfriend.

and the boyfriend gets eaten....and she survives and who comes running over to help her? the guide. I just felt that was kinda interesting.

a woman wants a good provider. deep biology.

alpha guide, of course, went on the attack pretty much from the jump, so we could anticipate that
life with him would have to be also problematic (the beatings, verbal assaults, philandering, etc)

yeah, you were definitely onto something with the comparison between the men. but given the perverse self-sabotaging aspect of boyfriend's behavior, i can actually understand why she would have been enraged.
