Yesterday drag watched Edge of Tomorrow. Do you think the romantic subplot in that movie has an impact?
Drag actually decided to watch the movie because OSP Red says the movie uses the romance to explore the isolation of being in a timeloop. Most characters who end up in timeloops are completely isolated. But while Cage is in a timeloop, Rita has already been in one before. Every loop, she’s ready to be caught up by him on the plan and do whatever he says they need to do in order to win. But what she’s not ready for is that he’s falling in love with her, because she’s the only human connection he can find. So their relationship is completely novel in its structure. That said, they could have just made a perfectly good movie about killing aliens in a timeloop without any romance. What do you think?
