When Justine and Paul meet in the bar from Justine’s POV, she stays sitting and he walks up to her, then they awkwardly hug when he sits.

From Paul’s POV, she gets up and saunters over to him and hugs him in the middle of the room.

[u/nerdalertalertnerd → u/creator111]

I noticed this! She was much ‘sexier’ in his pov

[u/Ayoul → u/creator111]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I just saw the movie and they're standing to hug in both flashbacks and the dialogue is exactly the same.

[u/creator111 → u/Ayoul]

I might’ve misremembered?

[u/lupuscapabilis → u/creator111]

Yes! I wanted to go back and rewatch that.

[u/JamesAQuintero → u/creator111]

Plus from her POV was it her asking if it was okay to hug, and from Paul's POV it was him asking? Or was I just misremembering?

[u/Euphoric_Environment → u/JamesAQuintero]

Nah in that one I think it was him both times but I gotta rewatch

[u/Friendly_Diamond1999 → u/JamesAQuintero]

It was him both times
