Spike goes to the mainland twice, but he only “becomes a man” once. With his father he sees killing and death as heavily bravado based, the enemy so dehumanized it’s an adrenaline inducing boy’s day. He misses most of his arrow shots and hides in an attic.
With his mother he learns there is love and memory in death, accepts that they all must die, and sees that sometimes you must kill to survive. They sleep in an open air church and his arrows strike hard and true.
With his father he leaves and returns as the child in need of protection and with his mother he returns protecting a baby and taking on the role of adult.
All of this to say is the movie shows us the stark difference between the toxic masculinity of his culture telling him that manhood is killing for fun, and the masculinity he learns from the doctor about honoring death and accepting that the only thing we have power over is love and memory.

For those of you going through a tough time today:
Please remember to take a breath, stop tensing up your body, and allow yourself a moment of peace. Things will get better and until then, be kind to yourself like you deserve.

If I had a nickel for every time I got invested in a sibling dynamic where the blue-coded eldest is the "prodigy," the father figure’s favorite, the golden child, in the eyes of the red-coded younger sibling who holds resentment towards the elder’s perceived "perfection," while in reality, the eldest—often depicted as the responsible leader—struggles under the weight of that responsibility and the pressure to be a good role model, feeling like they have to live up to impossible standards (hello, eldest daughter syndrome), and the younger sibling, more impulsive and prone to anger, wrestles with feelings of being overshadowed and misunderstood, I’d have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened twice… Then again, maybe it's not so weird because—let's be real—I’m a sucker for family angst in fiction.


Yeah and also the brother duo’s have a tech-savvy, intelligent younger brother!!
