Gigi is very
self-conscious and is not happy with herself. She is constantly looking for a
guy to make her happy. She overanalyzes the signals that she perceives from
guys and she becomes obsessed with the guy to the point that he no longer
likes her. Alex is the first positive and successful relationship that Gigi has
had. Alex is always honest with Gigi, and his honesty helps Gigi to realize
things about herself and why her past relationships failed. Alex uses the defense
mechanisms that we discussed in class to keep all relationships out of his
reach until Gigi helps him realize his love for her.
Neil and Beth’s relationship is different from what we think as a “normal” relationship. People
think that once you have been together for a couple of years that you should
get married. They have been together for seven years and have not gotten
married. Beth thinks that she needs to be married in order for Neil to be a
true husband. However, Beth realizes that Neil is more of a husband to her than
her sisters’ husbands are to her sisters. At the end of the movie, Beth
realizes that marriage is not essential to her being happy with her life with Neil, but Neil
proposes to Beth anyway. Neil was always committed to Beth even though he did not want
to get married.
