Themes in Look Both Ways

Spirit- Nick shows his spirit with his battle with cancer. He proves he can beat his cancer and be with Meryl.

Desire-desire is shown in the film with the character Andy, his desire to get his point across and gets caught up in it. It is also shown at rob and Julia’s house their desire to build a life together.

Anxiety- anxiety is present throughout the film with a number of the characters. Meryl’s anxiety is shown in her animations, when she sees herself being killed all the time. An example of this is when her and nick are having sex and she is thinking about getting aids and having triplets that are sick. Nick also shows anxiety in the film when he thinks about the cancer and his fathers struggle with it too. Anna also show it when she is contemplating her unborn baby.
