Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Deffinition aka the guy who's Thinking Of Ending Explaining things and this video we've got a lot to talk about.
I just wanna get straight into it as the movie has a lot to talk about but obviously there will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven't had a chance to check it out yet then I highly recommend that you check out now. Make sure you subscribe to the channel for videos like this every day and please drop a thumbs up if you enjoy it.
With that out the way, let's get into our breakdown of I'm Thinking Of Ending Things.
Ok so on the surface, the film seems pretty straight forward and it's plot is relatively simple. We follow a woman named Lucy who travels to meet her boyfriend's parents. Throughout the piece she is haunted by the thought of ending things and this is taken as her relationship with her boyfriend Jake. After a while at the house they decide to leave and we then sort of switch perspectives to Jake's POV together they journey back to his high school where he then dies before performing Oaklahoma on stage.
Weird.
Now The movie is very much an arthouse piece and chances are you probably have a lot of questions surrounding it's true meaning and the symbolism behind it.
You don't have to be a Genus in order to understand it, but to look what the film is trying to convey we have to look at the book that the film is based on.
Their happy memories, their regrets and also what has brought them to the conclusion that ending things is the only option left.
When one dies it is said that your life flashes before your eyes and the movie itself should sort of be seen as a continuous thought that is the compilation of someone's memories of their life.
This is exemplified in the aspect ratio of the piece which is shot almost to look like an old television show, presenting an almost nostalgic look at the past for our characters as they reminisce over things.
When we think it's never normally one straightforward thing and the book itself says that you can't fake a thought. Our brain fires off continuously and often when we reminice over things our brain drifts from point to point.
There's lipservice paid to this in the form of the poem Ode by William Wordsworth. This chronicled someones life and it is poetic that Jake decides to bring it up. Wordsworth wrote a number of poems to a woman named Lucy who died young, similar to how Jake recounts his life to his lover.
The book and the movie itself both heavily imply that Lucy is not a real person and that she and Jake are actually one in the same.
In the original work she doesn't even really get a name and she should be viewed as a manifestation of Jake's consciousness that is journeying with him as he recalls the past. Several clues are dropped like Jake saying that his slippers are hers and that she was brought up in a house exactly like the one he lives in. She then later says she grew up in an apartment and this contradicts that. She also thinks of photo of Jake is her and there clues become very apparent on a second watch.
