[quote=Anonymous]The book that it’s based on is like ten years old so if Mercy graduated during a recession and there was high unemployment then going abroad would be plausible. In the book the family goes on vacation to Bali or somewhere and they take Mercy along and he gets lost there. It’s not a one off thing but Mercy has been working for them for awhile. I think we are supposed to feel the Nicole Kidman characters ambivalence and guilt. She didn’t want to be pregnant, wanted a nanny cuz she found her kids a little tiresome, took them on an unnecessary adventure cu she was bored. Also in the book she is kind of overtly racist. She is freaked out by the culture and the food and the noise and the crowds. And her husband seemed whiter when they lived in the states. There is this whole sense that she is surrounded by this culture that she doesn’t understand and possibly dislikes.[/quote]
