Benigno relationship with Alicia seems at first harmless and he seems like he just admires her, but then as the film develops and you get more information it seems that Benigno is harmful. Benigno comes off as being kind and meaning well but then it seems that he is obsessed with Alicia especially the pictures of her that he has in his apartment and him consistently watching her. It’s like he is in his own world and he believes or feels as though Alicia feels for him the way he feels for her . Benigno seems sort of delusional. Benigno and Alicia ‘relationship’ contrast with Marco and Lydia because what Marco and Lydia had was an actual relationship with each other. Marco was somewhat different from Benigno because Marco didn’t know how to interact or what to say to Lydia because he felt like it would be hard because she couldn’t hear him or respond. Its similar because both men were fighting for love it was like they both were trying to hold on to something that seemed like it was almost unattainable. Benigno and Marco are in similar situations and they seem to grow to become friends and dependent upon each other. Marco and Benigno relationship is crucial because towards the end of the movie there relationship sort of brings together Alicia and Marco. There is this tie between Benigno, Alicia, and Marco. When the movie leaves off it seems that something is going to happen between Marco and Alicia, but then again it’s like maybe not because what Benigno ‘had’ with Alicia so its sort of open ended and leaves you wondering.
