Aight I wasn’t going to add anything but I’m going to anyway: they probably thought this
Aight I wasn’t going to add anything but I’m going to anyway: they probably thought this was too obvious/unnecessary to keep in the final script. In Brian’s interview he talks about how Bo was making shit up when talking to Carly and Wade (which confirms my theory that he killed his mother at least); having this—and potentially other cut scenes/lines—would have made it clear in the film that this was the intention.I’ve heard some people who were surprised about that part of the interview as well, but it’s not entirely unclear that Bo was lying: he talks about the Sinclairs as if he isn’t one of them, which opens up the idea later when he mentions “[his] brother, Vincent,” to Nick without hesitation. That and the photos Carly finds; it all subtly comes together.As it stands, the information that he killed his mother is really vague, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it leaves the viewer to interpret that much however they want. Subtlety is what a lot of screenwriters/directors/producers aim for to make the movie intriguing and make the viewer think more deeply about the story and the characters. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be interesting and could come off as disrespect towards the viewer by underestimating their ability to come to those conclusions on their own.When I say “my theory,” I just mean what I figured before reading the script or seeing the interview, not that it’s unique. I think what the movie gives us about the characters is enough for someone to conclude for themselves that Bo killed his mother, and potentially his father as well even while the film doesn’t say so outright.Anyway, guarantee this has been said at some point, but it’s been in my head all day since talking to @early20sfailingplenty, and seeing the script urged me to get it out! So, there you go. -- source link
