Henry & June

Today in class we watched Henry & June film that took place in 1931, Paris. The main character is Anais Nin, who later meets Henry Miller (who is also the writer of The Colossus of Maroussi, that we are reading in class) and his wife June. Anais fell in love with both of them and she begins to experience sexuality with Henry and many other people besides her husband, Hugo. Anais Writes all her experiences in her diary, which she only share certain things to her husband. When Anais wrote about Henry in her diary, I can sense that she was very interested in him right form the begining. She said "He is just like me, but he doesn't know it yet." They have a lot of common interest and since they are both writers, they can relate to one another. Also, they are both interest in writing a book that deals with sexual intercourse. This really brings up the question regarding "why is Anais doing this?" "Henry doesn't like when June cheats on him with Pop, so why is he going to a prostitute house ? and having sex with Anais?" "Is Anais doing this to expand her experience of sex?" Anais and Henry have been hanging out a lot with each other and they believed they belong to each other and they fit well together. I disagree with this, I think Anais is just having fun with this new experience of freedom and she isn't really thinking much about her husband. I think she should stop what she is doing and care more about her husband. He works really hard so she can be a writer and provide her with money. At least she should be more considerate.

What do you guys think?
