The finishing touch is always at the end

When I saw the last part of the movie (not the part between Lila and the donkey), Eddie quickly told the Mexican woman the lie he had told Lila, the image of Eddie was quickly destroyed in my mind, he is A true Asshole is hopeless.
If there is no last paragraph, the movie ends when Miranda turns around, then Eddie is just a Kid. Very subjective, I would rather let myself choose not the last paragraph. Eddie is just a child. If one makes a mistake, it is forgivable, but if you jump into the same pit twice, you will inevitably be deliberate.
I would rather believe that Eddie is just a child, a 40-year-old child. He loves Miranda deeply. He traveled more than 1,000 kilometers for her. He was in tatters and came to Mississippi with a group of smugglers, just to express his heart in front of Miranda. .
Eddie is just a child, he is as stubborn as a child.
If there is no last paragraph, this is a romantic comedy.
However, the last paragraph is there after all, so this is not a romantic comedy.
Eddie has the weaknesses that all of us have. He can't stand the test and can't stand loneliness, because he jumps to conclusions on impulse. He continued his mistakes again and again, just like every one of us. He likes to behave in front of beautiful women, he likes to pose, he is unwilling to face his own mistakes and use lies to deceive others and himself.
We always say that I lie just to make you feel better, it doesn't matter, this is a white lie.
A lie is a lie. Everyone will lie and make excuses, but the problem is that excuses are always easy to find, and oneself is always lost in the lie.
Who says you are not Eddie, you are!
Asshole!

    Some of the plots seem to be forced together.
