The use of camera angles between characters in heated moments throughout the film shows us the importance of family and relationships and how at times things can get tough but in the long run it is better to stay and fight together than to fight alone. An example of this is after a fight with Charlie, and as Thomas is sitting outside Jackie’s house the Camera blurs the background and is a close up shot as it focuses on the couple, which emphasizes the importance of the conversation at hand. Another scene that captures the similarities between disabled and able bodied people is the scene where Charlie and Thomas are sharing a bath, this is one of the most light-hearted and warming scenes and it adds a sense of Thomas’s inner autism. The scene competently captures Thomas’s acceptance that normalcy is not the key to a happy life and that Charlie is not merely a “spastic” but is a human being that should be treated how he wants to be
