Random scene with the little boy at the window


When rose has a breakdown in the car, we see the little boy looking at her through his window, all scared and stuff. Such a random scene that didn’t lead to anything else

it's was her nephew. a pointless scene in the end.

Mental illness and trauma can have secondary effects; they not only affect our loved ones, but it can also impact those that are separated by one degree as well. And children, though they might not understand entirely what's going on, they get affected too.

It shows how further she will be alienated by her kin, like her mother was. it wasn't a big reveal of any kind but going by this logic more than half the scenes in any movie lead to nothing.

Yeah, but little dude looked permanently traumatized.

Can lead to something connected in the sequel.
