I love the  characters in this movie and how they look at situations in various ways.  The film does not limit the characters to the way people are usually portrayed- the victim's family naturally wants the accused to fry; the accused's Mom thinks without a doubt that he's innocent and the cops have pegged the wrong perp; the wronged woman hates the mistress...

Everybody has reasons for what they do, and reasons can change.

Quoting "Tess," and pitting Hardy against Shakespeare; one question the film raises implicitly is whether fate is dictated by character, or if by refusing to accept circumstances as they are, the action creates a different result than accepting them.  But isn't that action a necessity of character, and therefore the unforeseen fate was dictated by who they were; we just didn't know it?

 Is the character's future enmeshed inextricably within their situation?

We don't like to think that fate traps, but rather that it enables.
