Point Of View In Lenny Abrahamson's Film Room

Jim was never there for the mother due to the long existing tensions between him and the family. This was a thing of concern for the patient in her dying bed. The patient was anxious about the tensions in the family, on how to deal with it and resolve it, as well, she was anxious about dying. These anxieties enveloped the entire family, and everyone wonders what’s next now that the seeming unifying factor is dying. The dynamism of the family was critical and overwhelming.

Jack is 18 years old. He graduates from high school, and gets a job in the movie theatre as a ticket seller and a projectionist. He has a girlfriend named Katy, and they are going to get married in November. When he meets Katy’s parents for the first time, it was at her sister's wedding, he walked in wearing a coat and tie. Jack’s friend LeFranc plays trumpet, and he does not know what to say to a girl. But Jack is getting tired of his friends, but does not complain. He is not very enthusiastic about his job, and feels he is trapped inside. He perhaps feels like he is in a jail, because it is mentioned in the text, that while selling the tickets he looks out in the day light through the metal bars, and the metal bars perhaps symbolizes that he feels trapped inside. In the end he decides to leave in middle of his work, and drive with Katy to Fountain Lake which he wanted in a long time. He changes to a happy and free person, and finally says, that he loves her.

But Jack cannot change the past. Rather, he must reflect on it as it really happened, allowing those reflections to guide his future conduct and to enrich his relationships with those whom he has helped or hurt. By the end of the story, instead of running from his past, Jack has begun to make restoration for its mistakes by finally marrying his beloved Anne and opening his home to Elliot Burden, the man he long believed to be his father. Jack’s contemplation of the past leads him not to despair, but to a deeper understanding of and compassion for the human race.

This is just as true for the very first series of shots for the film, and perhaps more important since these first shots will give the audience the initial feeling of the film, and set a tone for the picture.
