"It is a bad day for Bella Baxter."
  • Bella's backstory is this - a woman born Victoria Blessington who commits suicide in order to escape her abusive husband. And when she meets him again towards the end of the film, she rediscovers his cruel nature.
  • Bella's reaction to Harry showing her cruelty for the first time. (pictured) It breaks her and she tries killing herself before Harry stops her. Not helping is the accompanying musical piece.
  • Bella and Harry's farewell on the boat. It's a sweet moment that's enough to leave a tear in your eye.
  • As Godwin lies dying, Bella curls up beside him like a small child, and his final act is to kiss her on the forehead. Equally sweet and sad is that Max curls up on Godwin's other side and lays his head on the dying man's shoulder, proving how much he has come to care for his mentor.
