No, I don't think that this is so unrealistic. A man can make love to a woman (and viceversa) for many reasons and love is not necessarily one of them. We shouldn't see Michael has a spotless hero. He's just a man. Maybe he just wanted to reaffirm his possession of Kay, maybe he only wanted to have sex. Maybe it was just nostalgia of past years. And love is an extremely complex and contradictory feeling, anyway.

Oh, yes! I agree very much on this point!


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
