oh my god PLEASE share your thoughts on reflection indicating theo's thoughts in the movie!!! i just found your blog today and im o b s e s s e d i love your goldfinch analyses!

mirrors are representative of theo's concept of himself (again, separate post), while the softer reflections in windows and his glasses are his thoughts. not every reflection has meaning - glass objects are bound to bounce back light. the ones of significance are found in instances of held shots on decipherable images in glass surfaces. 

in the interrogation, his glasses reflect the map as a white sheet - his mind is blank and blurry. at the optometrist, the city is visible in both the window and theo’s new glasses as he considers his new place within it. he’s being taken in by the barbours, shifting upwards in society, and that changes the way he will exist in new york. 

when he takes the painting out of the yellow bag in vegas we see the image both directly and on his glasses. since the painting is representative of theo, the refraction elevates it to a moment of self reflection (pardon the pun). in the storage locker we see the civics textbook in both shot and reverse shots - it's the only thing rattling around wildly in theo’s head, bouncing from himself to reality and back. 

holding the wrapped painting in vegas, his glasses show a window, small and closed, on the school bus in vegas they show the windows and open sky, and during the first confrontation with hobie they show the windows of the workshop - in each instance, he feels trapped and out of control.

in the taxi’s windows, the city passes him by, upside down, until the frame shifts and only the grey sky is left, and likewise on the bus back, there’s middle american nothing - in each moment his life is shifting drastically and his thoughts are hazy at best.  

there's a plate of food on his tray table during the flight to amsterdam, only visible in his glasses. because food is representative of love, it communicates that theo is struggling to avoid the reality of the love he feels for boris.

it’s a very amusing thing to realize that kitsey and theo basically have the same type and it’s a dark-haired vaguely criminal dude who will hurt your feelings but then send you a dog pic the next day and think he’s fogiven and he’ll also peer-pressure you into doing drugs. ‘you don’t know what it’s like to be in love with a wrong person’ my ass. maybe find yourself someone you won’t have to hide from your parents next time

omg i can’t believe lemony snicket really co-wrote one of the songs on taylor swift’s new midnights album

literally “there was not quite a word for boris and me” and then they have sex on the next page
