Getting to know Paltrow's character wasn't the point.  It's not her loss
you were meant to identify with.  Pitt's character was developed.  As a
result you can understand not only his loss, but also the moral/ethical
cannundrums that he is now plagued by as a result of his wife's murder.

Some more pesky thoughts...
