The male protagonist's last run is a yearning for freedom, and it is also because he feels that he has the ability to take care of his mother. That was his love for his mother.
Correspondingly, my mother's love for the male protagonist is definitely not only manifested in tolerating his ADHD and eccentric temper and his suicide attempt, my mother said, I will love you more and more, and you will love me more and more. The love will only become less and less. I will not deny the previous words. It is precisely because of the mother's deep love for her son that the male protagonist will be sent to the hospital. And the above-mentioned male protagonist's trust in his own abilities and his longing for his mother forced him to break free from that bondage immediately, because after all, he was smiling, and also out of paranoid and intense love for his mother.
And the use of 1:1, I can only say that Dolan is quite bold. Not only a challenge to the camera, but also a challenge to the actors. In such a small space, the actors' performances are infinitely magnified, and we can clearly figure out their struggles and cries - trying to escape such a life.
I was stunned when I first opened the screen. The male protagonist pulled the whole picture with his hands on the skateboard, and then the whole tone, music, etc. became clear. That's the life they should have.
The second time was my mother's contemplation. The vision of a better future, a life that a normal child can enjoy, until everyone's faces begin to blur, and then the whole picture begins to blur, and then it turns back to dark tones and low music.
When I watched Budapest before, I was surprised by Wes's handling and use of the lens, and Dolan clearly gave such a lens a deeper meaning here. They are a group of ordinary people and people at the bottom of the society. They are also struggling to want to live and want a better life; however, their ideals are unreal, at least short-lived.
It is also a metaphor for the neighbors to change back to their original appearance in the end. Everything went back to the way it was before, as if he hadn't come back. And the last Merci is reflected again as an established tacit understanding, and the departure of the neighbor deepens the mother's sense of loneliness.
