For the first part of this project we were told to choose two Charcters of our choice and explore their fears from our perspective based on our observations from the movie. We could go as in depth as we wanted as long as we were clear. And here’s mine:
Sam’s fear
I believe that Sam has an irrational fear of being alone. It doesn’t display this fear clearly in the film, but rather subtly. It brings up moments of Sam’s past like, how his father abandoned him or his concern for both Lucy and Rita. Also events from the movie plus the overall arching theme. It’s hard to be so different from everybody and it can be really isolating
Lucy’s fear
I believe Lucy fears of Sam’s life. As she got older, she was starting to realize that Sam was much different then everyone else. She didn’t want to embarrass him because he was a full grown man. She might have wondered what would have happened to him if she wasn’t born. I also think it works the same way around in terms of Sam’s fear of losing Lucy. Telling from Sam’s state, he didn’t grow up in the best of conditions and he would probably want to provide something that he never got the opportunity for, like college or a well paying job.
