Another clip for us. Another day to thank Juju for her hard work:

He's back! Nora's a tough little cookie there when she rescues Bo herself! Wow. The big question, how does Todd get out of the bonds that bind him? We'll probably never know. "You talkin' about Robert Redford? I'm your man." Imagine, that was totally appropriate and still worked back in 1993, to compare someone to Robert Redford! I miss those days for so many reasons. And here we are today, fortunate enough to have BO and NORA still together. Sigh.
Todd's screams when he realizes he is tied to the fence - his voice cracks in spots - he's tied like he's prone, sort of arms outstretched. The scene is done perfectly and I used to LOVE on location shoots, which I don't think are even heard of anymore.
Rebecca. She's STILL standing by her man. She still believes in him. "Todd won't hurt me, I know that. I know it." In some ways, she's right, and in others, she's wrong since he cannot help himself at all but hurt those around him when he is hurt.
Powell's got that stupid bruise on the same side of his face that Todd has the scar. Something to really think about. From the start, he's the honored one, and eventually we know how this ends up. But this mark on him, is that a portent of what is to come? Probably. He's just as scarred as Todd is and for less reason. I've always thought that and I've written about it before. A life of privilege with two, caring parents vs. Todd's life. Interesting comparison. Todd has the permanent scar, the one that will always be there, while Powell has this bruise that will fade and people will forget. Of course, they did not get them the same way, but metaphorically, you can see where I am going. During this story, I hated Powell's character! He was the most self-righteous, self-inflated, annoying guy!
Would Todd have killed Bo? Probably, if it meant his own life. But with all the chances he had to kill or rape Nora that he let go, one has to wonder what was going on inside him, and what was keeping him from "crossing over" into the world of murder.....probably a little Miss named Rebecca.
FAIL: Just Powell's self-righteous attitude regarding Todd to everyone. and the untying thing he did, which makes no sense since both hands were tied APART.
Sound off!!!!!
