![]() Edward was willing to work it out but she was adamant about ending their relationship for good. Susan decided that Edward was no longer worth her time and, as she did at the start of their relationship, she initiated the breakup and divorce.Susan decided to cheat on Edward with Hutton after Edward was seemingly becoming "weak" to her.Despite her mother's cold demeanor, she knew that her daughter was impulsive when it comes to choices. Susan didn't listen to her mother who warned her that she will end up hurting Edward.She did this without taking the time to actually get to know him again and properly assessing whether he's the right romantic partner for her or not, despite being childhood friends with him. During the dinner scene between them in Susan's first flashback, Edward was taken aback when she suggested that he comes home with her implying that she wants to be intimate with him. Susan was the one who automatically initiated the relationship between herself and Edward right after they had met back up since their childhood.In hindsight, most of the events that happened are Susan's fault and it shows that she's impulsive when it comes to the decisions she's made in life. In the novel, the reason that he never shows up to the dinner date is due to him leaving town to promote his novel and he didn't let Susan know that he wasn't going to show up to their date. Even though Edward never shows up during the present, that doesn't necessarily mean that he's committed suicide and, what some have pointed out, since the film takes place mostly through Susan's point of view, it most likely meant that he has finally moved on from her. Others argued that this wouldn't make any sense due to the logistics and rationale of the situation as well as what ultimately occurred in the original novel that the film is based on. Also, another reason for this theory is that in his novel, Tony, who clearly represents him, dies at the end partially due to his actions and some viewers viewed that as a symbol for Edward's own possible death. It was argued that after writing the book and sending a copy to his ex-wife, Edward was still too broken by her and couldn't face her to where he ended his life. Edward ultimately never shows up, thus leaving her alone and devastated.ĭespite the ending being left up to interpretation, some viewers curiously thought that the reason Edward never showed up to his dinner date with Susan was due to him committing suicide. Furthermore, at the restaurant she chose for the date, there are heavy uses of green in the aesthetics. At the very end of the film, Susan wears a green dress for her dinner date with Edward.This was after Susan had gotten an abortion without telling Edward and basically coldly cut off contact with him. In the flashback where Edward sees Susan getting in the car with Hutton, their car is green.This is the same type of car that Ray and his gang used in his novel. When Susan breaks up with Edward in one of Susan's flashbacks, a parked green car is seen in the background as Edward solemnly walks alone.When Susan imagines seeing Ray popping up on the screen, she drops the phone, thus breaking it in the process. The "night vision" video of the baby on the phone is naturally green.Furthermore, Ray's cowboy boots throughout most of the film are bright green, most notably during the attacks. ![]() ![]() The car is used to drive Tony and his family off of the road, and kidnap his wife and daughter. In the "Nocturnal Animals" novel, the car that Ray and his gang drive is green.The color green shows up in crucial scenes throughout the film.
