Matthew


How did Matthew become mute? The movie never said. Was he born mute?

reply

Taylor told Noah that Matthew "..never spoke a word". It is never made clear whether he can't or just wont. It's just stated that he never spoke in his life.

Taylor told Noah that Matthew never spoke a word after his Mom died and his father left ......or at least that's the impression that I got.

By the way ...HI ABBY ..>I know who you are!! LOL!! How you doing??

I thought the whole Matthew story was unsatisfying--it seemed dragged in, with no resolution---there were hints that his father might show up some day, or that he would start to talk because of his new relationship with Noah. Instead, he just died, and his story ended. I also thought that there would turn out to be some connection to the widow, but this never developed either. Too bad, because the boy was so sweet and lovable. I think the writers just decided that there needed to be something sad in the movie, so they abruptly sacrificed the character of the boy, but,to me,it would have been much more touching to have him start to talk and have a new father figure.

That was the thing that made him leave. It was a beautiful movie, so maybe we didn't need that kind of plot element; but if it was any less of a movie, we might have thought things felt too good to be true. Was pretty harsh though. Blame the Greeks I guess. The old ones.
