Yes, Jimmy objectifies women (he's not the only one to do so). I don't think that has anything to do with race, or to make us hate Jimmy so that we feel okay with Sydney killing him at the end. It goes back to helping the audience understand Sydney. We know that Sydney is sensitive to the treatment of women. We see it with the keno scene, his discussion with Jimmy, and the interaction with Clementine when she offers to sleep with him. We also know Sydney has two kids that he never talks to hinting at transgressions with women in his past life. So Jimmy not only is important for conflict, but he's our only window into Sydney's past. There's shame there, and Jimmy is a constant reminder. This is excellent protagonist/antagonist conflict relevant to plot and theme.
In the end, Sydney pulled the trigger so that he could protect the future, and bury his past.Statistics: Posted by Zombie — Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:53 pm
