The original title of the film “Nocturnal Animals” sounds more meaningful, because the so-called “nocturnal animals” are not only the three killers from Edward’s novel, but also Susan herself, whom he jokingly called “nocturnal animals” she always had trouble sleeping.ĭrawing obvious parallels with reality and fiction, one can also notice Edward’s attitude towards Susan when he says that he wrote for her all night, and then, in the novel, describes Tony’s dialogue with his wife, in which she does not resist the fact that he drove along the highway all night, which was the cause of the future tragedy.
The story described in Edward’s manuscript is exactly what he felt after Susan left. This is revenge for an act that took away from him the opportunity to be with his beloved woman, have children with her and develop as a writer, because Susan has repeatedly hinted to Edward that he is mediocre and will not be able to achieve any heights. The plot of Edward’s book tells about the tragedy of Tony Hastings. During an overnight trip to Texas, his wife and daughter are kidnapped, raped, and killed by three bandits. Tony blames himself for everything that happened, tracks down the killers and dies, taking revenge for his family. The structure Nocturnal Animals based on the skillful alternation of reality and fiction (novel), past and present, opens up before us a completely unique story, the two parts of which not only complement, but also overlap with each other. Immersion in a beautifully written book further enhances the feeling of emptiness and pretense. Susan realizes how far her current reality has diverged from her own teenage dreams. She even sends an email to Edward saying that the book “touched her deeply” by signing the email “Love, Susan.” Susan is impressed by the book, and although we will never see a single line of her throughout the film, we will still be impressed along with the heroine Adams, but why?
