Does anyone else agree that the ending of Good Time is a pretty bad one for Nick?
Connie was destructive, and any plan to take charge of Nick long term was probably unrealistic.
Yet, I think it is clear the situation Nick finds himself in the end may even be worse. He is treated like a baby retard not capable of anything, while Connie always treated him like a real person. One could even view his reasoning to bring Nick on the heist is to boost Nick's self-esteem by including him, as insane as it sounds. Pattinson makes a strong statement to Nick that he couldn't have done it without him.
