g/m ribit,
That was the point I was trying to make.
"......it's also that people are unwilling to listen to the other side and unwilling to compromise. Sometimes they have compromised all they can and neither will budge another inch......"
Meeting in the middle was my way of saying the same thing as you are: compromise.
In the movie, you can see how they both stood by their principles and ended up apart, forever.
So, they did compromise all they were capable of, and paid a heavy price for NOT budging another inch.
