the left scene is scott looking at how happy they are, the queer people that are OUT in a gay bar. that’s how kips story is going, continuing, he’ll get over it, he’ll live a happy good life, with his family.
hey, i don’t have to come out, i can live like this, as long as they’re happy.
then after that he sees his own family, shane being hit in the head. barely conscious for the moment, and his boyfriend ilya just horrified , staring at him, backing away. the ref is pushing ilya away, ilya is yelling, i believe they’re shushing ilya too. and shane is gone.
that is scott’s family, that is it for them.
that’s at the START of the game, that’s the START of their story. they’ll never go to the bar/cottage or drink happily with their friends and family, they’ll just suffer and their story will never start.
if scott doesn’t do something fast, his kiddos are doomed.
Allegorically and literally Scott wasn’t there for shane and ilya. He watched their devastating queer experience through a comfortable glass view of the TV broadcast . he’ll retire in a couple years, he’s good.
but if he retires quietly ilya and shane, the kids of hockey won’t be okay.
but he changes his mind, and what do we get in the end? shane and ilya drinking with their family too
the scenography:
the metal is a cage and it reminds me of the hockey mask cage they wear for protection on the ice.its dim and its so red, filled with heart and dim lights
boom after scott comes out, it brightens up, no more cage, orange and yellows. look at the two large windows lighting the family up.
the cage of hockey is off your face
scott and kip are those windows of light, the doors, shining on ilya and shane’s family.
