Yeah, that was a wildly poor take from the previous commenter. Even if you only had a fraction more than a superficial glance at the film, the roles are very clear.

I think the movie was very subtle about these things. It’s 100% there, but if you’re not in the specific mindset to notice then, it’s easy to miss.

Especially if you think wishing a girl loved you should work. If his wish is reasonable, then the rest of the movie is unfair to him.
