Squids and whales - life as it is

After thinking about it for a long time, the actor of my brother turned out to be Zuckerberg of "The Social Network". I like the folk music of the 60s and 70s in the film. I didn't think it was shooting with a hand-held camera, so I thought it was a bit of a street scene shooting. A picture of American humanistic landscape in a microcosm of an intellectual family. What does the scene of the squid and whale at the end of the film mean? I believe it's that view of people and life, but it doesn't make much sense to me personally.

The Squid and the Whale quotes
-
Bernard Berkman: She's a very risky writer, Lili. Very racy. I mean, exhibiting her cunt in that fashion is very racy. I mean Lili has her influences in post modern literature, it's a bit derivative of Kafka, but for a student, very racy. Did you get that it was her cunt?

Sophie: Yeah. I mean, it's gross when he turns into the bug, but I love how matter of fact everything is.
Walt Berkman: Yeah, it's very Kafkaesque.
Sophie: [She looks at him oddly. She laughs] Cause it's written by Franz Kafka.
Walt Berkman: Right. I mean, clearly.
