Yeah i agree. It fascinates me though. So many of her statements could be read more than one way after knowing the trick.
I dunno if it even matters to the story, but all the makeup in the world wouldnt hide your husband’s identity from you, right? Not someone you knew for years. And she’s the only one who saw his hand fresh after the ‘surgery’. I like to wonder about what exactly she suspected, and what she meant when she said she couldn’t live this way.
I look for clues every time. Still not sure (or if you’re supposed to know) which person loved her or if either of them know who the OG was.
Having had a partner who gaslit and had basically a personality disorder, I could absolutely see someone getting driven to do what she did. You start to doubt your own ability to distinguish reality, to be able to trust yourself or anyone else. Constant fear and anxiety will make anyone go a little nuts
SPOILER ALERT-- do not read further if you haven’t seen the movie.
When my husband is being a jerk, I tell him I want the other brother back, the one who loves me.
By the way, you can use spoiler tags on Lemmy!

The question i have on multiple rewatches that i can’t answer: does the wife know? I think she knows.
I don’t think she really could know. She is definitely suspicious but it’s such a hard conclusion to jump to without any reason to think it.

I don’t think she knows. She may feel like “this isn’t the man I married” but not in the sense of it being literal.
I think if I was in her shoes there’s no way I’d figure it out unless it was super obvious. It’s way too unreal and it contradicts occam’s razor.
Ouch!
