He feels like he isn't allowed to make normal, teen mistakes. Great write up. SCRABBLE® is a registered trademark. Hence, she definitely told Luce (which was confirmed later when Luce told Watts about it). He comes to realize that he will always be put on a pedestal by others because of preconceived racial stereotypes as opposed to being just another person. The meaning is essentially "I'm sorry, and I will try and be better". 1. Luce went from a 7 year old, fighting and causing destruction with guns to fighting and causing destruction with words and his mind. Just my opinion. All rights Reserved. Or is an example of liberal do-gooding run amok—thousands of years of culture obliterated because some white folks couldn’t be bothered to learn the pronunciation of an African name and instead picked one better suited for a boat or a Golden Retriever? Mattel and Spear are not affiliated with Hasbro. Is your question just about the plot? She says no one is hurt but how does she know he won’t Do it again? By taking away sports she ensured he had no chance in life. Anyway, Mr. Cole takes Luce to a cabin off the coast, where she'll be safe while Daniel is tying up some loose ends, but we don't even know what these loose ends are or what Luce's next steps should be. He has a very difficult and frustrating teacher, and after that teacher ruins his friend, he wants to get revenge. But I'll warn that details like "So Luce was going to set off the fireworks in Spencer's office, but that only works if his mother lies and says the fireworks were always kept by Spencer, so how did Luce know his mother would lie?" Maybe cuz Luce thought she was appealing in the dark, he wanted to hang a bit more. i fucking loved how this movie didn't really answer any questions, just bits and pieces and you have to decide for yourself what story you want to believe. It was then that he shifted his focus to framing the teacher. Luce was praised for breaking stereotypes, and it infuriated him that Ms. Wilson took away any opportunity Deshawn had at getting a scholarship through sports. I loved the movie, and it kept me yelling "No way!". So during this conversation, Luce had to manipulate her again to help him mess up Ms. Wilson before the principle meeting. Then he could have possibly manipulated Ms. Wilson's sister, by saying how Ms. Wilson is not fond of her own sister, and has troubled accepting her. Luce dislikes her, and wants revenge (his exact motivations are exactly what you're supposed to discuss and ponder, he has many messy reasons). I felt that the most telling part of the whole film was the scene when he was sitting with his mum at the end and mentioned how they always hid his Christmas presents where they hid the fireworks (thus how he found them to set up his teacher).
