Themes in the film

mes· Fear- Fear is a main part of the film ‘Look Both Ways ‘ it is highlighted all through the film and each character shows this in their own separate way. Take nick for example when he’s at the doctor when he discovers he has cancer for the first time, the fear in his voice and the uncertainty is shown. Even the questions he asks the doctor are full of fear is voice quivers with every word he says.

· Chance- Chance is used through the film by Sarah watt and is a major theme of the film ‘Look Both Ways’. Firstly with the accident with the train driver. It was chance that Julia’s husband tripped on to the train track and got killed. This is also shown by when nick has cancer, just like his father had. It was just a fluke he would contract cancer.

· Commitment- Commitment is shown at the end of the film in the photomontages when you see Nick having chemotherapy and overcoming his cancer to travel around the world. This photomontages highlights Nicks will and commitment and overcome cancer and not let it defeat him like his father.
