I recently watched “Something Borrowed” with a couple of friends. The movie is basically about a young girl who is in love with her best friend’s fiancé. She went to college with him and introduced them to each other. Her best friend has always been the loud one and the one who went for what she wanted. At the end of the movie the main character ends up with the guy because he has always loved her, but didn’t think she was interested in him.
After the movie was over a friend and I got into an argument about the two women. She argued that the main character was a slut because she was having an affair with her best friend’s fiancé, and I argued that she wasn’t right on the affair part, but that her best friend was not really that great of a friend because she took him while somehow having to know that her friend did have feelings for him. She never came out and told her that she liked him, but if you are friends with a person since childhood, you know them and you don’t need them to verbalize everything.
It is a difficult and unlikely situation, but in reality friendship isn’t just a title, it is a responsibility, and in this movie the secondary character was very self absorbed and didn’t really show real interest in her best friend’s life.
