This movie has probably made one of my top favorites, yet the story behind was so saddening. It was a tragic story that was delivered so beautifully in order to bring light to Sylvia's death. However, I highly disagree with the statement that "Gertrude wasn't a bad person." This film gave us a glimpse of someone would handle difficult life, which Gertrude responded horribly. Her actions showed her dark person within which is why she refused to acknowledge it until after. "Bad people do bad things" is such a stickler phrase however is appropriate to use in this case.
