What does the reminicence of childhood mean?
Is there any specific undertone? Any opinion?
shareTwo things: one is that that was a time of possibility and an unlimited future (looking out to sea) when he was happy and able to enjoy a good relationship with everyone in his life (especially his sister). Also it seems to be regressive in that as a child there were no negatives in his life, and these reminicenses of childhood prevent him from dwelling on the impending void.
shareI agree with person above me,
and to add.. it seems like when someone faces the end of their life, they go back to their childhood, when everything was uncomplicated and pure.
Being born is the opposite of dieing, it's like a circle moment back in time.
Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.
I dash and sprinkle myself with the bright waters of childhood. Its thin veil quivers. But the chained beast stamps and stamps on the shore.
There is only a thin sheet between me now and the infinite depths. share
Melvil said in an interview that the way he saw the character was that he was a happy innocent child, as we all are, but he lost his way as an adult.....once he knew he was dying, he started reminiscing about his childhood as a way to get back to that innocence and to forgive himself. That's why in the last scene he comes face to face with his child self and is so at peace. He was happy to have found himself again.
