I was having a discussion with a friend when we realized that depending on which half of Marathon Man a person prefers, it actually reveals a lot about their personality. The first part of the film seems designed more to please idealistic individuals, people desperately hoping to lead a life that ends up mattering, whereas the second half of the film seems more geared towards those who are pragmatic realists. The dichotomy which emerges is basically between the dream of what you’d like your life to be, as opposed to the disturbing, underlying reality, that nothing is as it first appears and that a person’s false assumptions may leave them entirely unprepared to resist those more ruthless than themselves.
