To comprehend Sarah's past and its impact on her motivation in the film, Winslet turned to Perrotta's novel. "The thing that I took away from the book was that [Sarah] is an educated woman with a very active mind. It is just that is deadened somewhat when you meet her." In book, Winslet points out; Sarah "has a slightly bisexual past which I begged Todd to try put in somehow to the story." In a film that already addresses adultery, xenophobia, and pedophilia, is it surprising that Sarah's bisexuality ultimately did not reach the screen?
Okay, children, what do adultery, xenophobia, and pedophilia all have in common, that bisexuality does not? Yet the writer of the article-one Karl Rozemeyer-sees fit to equate them.
One step forward, two steps back.
