Okay, I just watched the movie again.
I'll go to amazon next and order the dvd. I'll manage to sort out the 'region' thing even though I'm not very technical...
I think one of the things that attracted Shaun to Zach (other than his amazing good looks of course ) was his strong sense of family. The way Shaun immediately hit it off with Cody, wanting to be around him and playing with him on the beach (Cody:'I need to forty-five the castle' LOL!! He's so adorable), Shaun was yearning for 'family'. He pointed out to Zach twice that his dad was his stepdad, so he probably didn't have much of a relationship with him. That's why I thought if was very fitting that Cody was hugging Shaun during the last scene as his mum drove away. It's little things like this that really make this movie stand out I think. I can't believe they shot this in only 18 days...amazing!
Fabienne, you were wondering about the ring weren't you? In the scene where he says goodbye to Jeanne and he puts his hand in her hair and they hug, you can see the ring clearly, it looks almost like a fleur-de-lis....
Great that you are going to buy the DVD, I am going to order it too if it isn't released in Europe...
Great observations, I think you are absolutely right! This was also Shaun's chance to have the family that he craved. Yes, I love the way he is holding Cody to him in that scene. I think Brad Rowe is so natural in that and all the other scenes with Cody, because he has a 5-year old son in real life.
I thought it was interesting how Shaun held back at the car before Zach came back to hold his hand and 'dragged' him with him. When Zach does that, you can see how Shaun is really nervous and NOT looking forward to meeting Jeanne again. The bitch doesn't even have the decency to say hi, just says What is he doing here? How nasty of her, treating him like trash.
