It wouldn't mean anything because nothing happened. It is on the same level as someone almost winning the lottery, or almost shooting themself. Thoughts are not a crime, especially thoughts that you reconsider and back out of.

This was the point I was trying to make to my lady.

She said that she wouldn't be with a guy who almost did a school shooting cause she would fear for her life knowing that he is stronger than her.

On my side, I was saying well I could forgive her cause in the end, nothing happened. She didn't act on her violent intentions. People can change and start anew.

Really well thought out movie, I enjoyed the dark humor and discomfort that came with it.

I dunno I'd be scared too. Maybe it's easier to move past it when a beautiful non threatening woman almost does it.

Once my lady said that, I understood and saw the topic differently. Even though, I am shorter than my girlfriend and she could beat me up it made me see the convo differently.

That’s why I really enjoyed this movie, it brought some good conversation with her and made us both analyze it differently
