William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

just thought i’d point this out: just before neil dies, there’s a shot that pans from a painting on mr perry side table to him sleeping

this painting is titled “The Red Boy”

the sitter was a young boy, Charles William Lambton, who later died at the age of 13 from tuberculosis, but the painting now stands to represent a young boy on the verge of “life”, becoming an adult, being the heir to his fathers title. but his life was cut short, just before he was able to actually grow up and live. as a result of this, his younger brother become went on to inherit everything…got to live.

i guess what i’m saying here is that this symbolises neil as a person, as a character, as a piece in the puzzle of life…he died so others - his friends, todd - could live. they only fully grasped what is what to live, and how to choose life over tradition, after his death.

everything in dps is intentional.

also if think this painting is similar to the one in the hall at the beginning of the film, where one boy is looking up, and the other is looking down. it’s kind of mirroring it - people have said that the boy looking down is neil and the one looking up is todd - and now, here is a painting of this boy looking up, neil looking up, to what he could have in life, to what living would be like. neil has learnt how to finally live and not follow his fathers rules and expectations like he had done in the beginning, which meant his life was cut short, but not before he experienced what it would’ve been like.

also the fact that the shot panned from the painting to mr perry could suggest that he was that boy, whose idea of living was cut short by whatever circumstances to he had passed the expectations and legacy that he could’ve had onto neil, expecting him to become the person he couldn’t be.
