The Truth is out....THERE!!alrite...i hate the feelin of leaving the theatre assuming dat i nderstd the story but actualli...i hav no clue!*shucks* this sucks...yeah dickie's right...the movie 'ends' when Sarah passed her completed book to John....end of story..
self-denial's never realli my cup of tea...so for the "real" story of Swimming Pool...
TADA!!!
onli managed to read two entries...here;s one of them...not as convulated...unlike the second one abt symbolism and the shits..
There are several items that I think are important that I have not seen mentioned in any of the previous reviews. The first is the pair of panties that Sarah picks up in the grass next to the pool and take up with her to her room. Obviously, I'm not an expert on... I mean, I don't think Julie would ever wear this plain cotton kiddy-looking underwear. Yet when Julie later sees the underwear in Sarah's room, she picks them up and indicates they are hers. My guess is they belonged to and were left there by Julia, the younger daughter who appears at the end, and thus were only serving as another prop in Sarah's story. The second item is the picture of a girl in Julie's diary. It's a mystery for the viewer but not for Sarah. Sarah glances at the picture and then turns it around for a better look, and no wonder. If I'm not mistaken, the picture in the diary is a picture of Sarah (Charlotte Rampling) as a teen-ager thereby indicating that the diary is not Julie's at all but really Sarah's diary all the time and the sight of her old picture and the feel of the old diary brings back memories of her teen-age years that provides fuel for the "Julie" story she has already begun. It also accounts for her copying out of the diary, something a writer of her experience would not be prone to do unless it was her diary in the first place. Finally, after establishing the two women in the restaurant, the camera focus on Sarah's face as Julie tells her story. Could it be that Julie is really not there and the voice is originating in Sarah's mind? That Julie's story is really Sarah's story? This same focus on Sarah's face is used during the conversation between Julie and Frank just before Sarah is "coaxed" into getting up and dancing. My conclusion is that one night shortly after she arrives at the French house, Sarah opens the window to her bedroom and lies down. What happens from that point, hearing a car pull up, going down the stairs with a lamp in her hand, meeting Julie, etc. , until she is back in England is a depiction of the writer's mind at work. This can also be seen after she leaves her publisher's office at the end and then looks back through the glass window in the door for many seconds, studying Julia, comparing the real English daughter to her own French creation.
