^^ It's amazing, isn't it?
Especially since the W/E 'evidence' is so over-whelming in this film. I don't know, something two people in love who argue and split up, then work their way through their problems in a mature fashion and realize that they really love each other, and then something more about making choices and then a wedding and then sex on the beach and a child and being free after ten years...
Right, so what's this about Sparrabeth being so obvious that we all must be blindingly stupid to not see how they'd work?
Maybe...maybe in another lifetime, or if Will had never exisited, or if Will had ditched Elizabeth when he was angry at her, or if Elizabeth had not killed Jack, then things might have worked out between them.
I like that bittersweet tinge to the Jack and Elizabeth relationship, although it is far more on Jack's part than on Elizabeth's.
