I've had people borrow/adopt "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Treywreck" since they are both so fitting. I'm glad you seem to agree!
We're also in agreement on the protection/rejection/abandonment dilemma. Once again, if only they had taken the time and tried to help him cope after he was first deposited on their doorstep... Too little far too late.
Ryan might want to let them choose to make their own "clean break" from him, but he can't completely cut the chord. It's not even about himself, it's for them, and that only shows how truly tangled and twisted this web is as it turns in on itself. He couldn't stay, but he can't stay away either. And if any of them asked, especially Kirsten or Sandy, he would placate them and the cycle of destruction, in his eyes, would be in place again.
Things are going to get a LOT worse? Poor thing. He's already homeless, destitute, fractured visibly and invisibly, alienated and completely alone. I'll watch the progression and wait for the eventual, gradual upswing too.
I do hope you work on developing a very long, probing, insightful, slowly-paced version or versions of "Fall Down." There's so much potential there- volumes worth if you really examine the correlation between emotions, issues and actions and how they all impact relationships. Have at it!
