1. *Where does the name Shelter come from? Is this from Zach seeking shelter in Shawn for him and Cody? Like he provides for those around him and finally he accepts help for his own situation? There is the point where he tells his x-girlfriend that all he wanted to do was provide for her and you can tell he feels like he has failed because he couldn't do that.
2. *After they go surfing the first time Zach tells Shawn he read his book, I am not sure if he is saying "when it first came out" or "when I first came out". If it is the first one it would make more sense because he is not really out. The clip for that is posted here so that would be easy enought to check.
3. *You see the Dad at the first of the movie but then they take him home and he never appears again. Whats up with that? He was the only character who appeared to be over 30 and they only pay him lip service.
4. In the movie I thought this song was sung by a female:

AD1 Yeah, I think you're absolutely right! The key to that scene in the garden is that Zach finds a way to ask for help, and in that way he finds shelter with Shaun.
AD2. He says "When it first came out." Didn't you love in this scene how they kept bumping into each other?
AD3. I have no idea, they really could have left him out altogether, he didn't serve any purpose whatsoever
AD4. No, it's Shane Mack who sings this. I am not fond of his voice and the only song I really like of his in the movie is the one right after the scene in the car where they fight ("At least I loved enough to hurt".)
How do you think Gabe found out about Zach and Shaun?
mariez:
I liked "Shelter" a lot - there's a wonderful simplicity about it. As for the Dad, I guess his only purpose is to show just one more person that Zach is responsible for - he's become the parent to everyone, his nephew, his sister and his own dad.
I'm looking forward to watching it again - I always catch more things on a second viewing!

I imagine (OMG is this the genisis of Shelter fan fic?) Shaun went back in the house upset and Gabe seen him and asked what is wrong and they had a talk and he told him. I think Gabe was putting two and two together.
belbbmfan:
I think Gabe had it figured out pretty quickly. He commented 'great shirt' about the shirt Shaun was wearing when he was working (after Gabe nearly found them in bed together.) I think Shaun quickly put on one of Zach's t-shirt in order to make a quick escape from the house.
And Gabe knew something was going on when he walked into the bedroom. Oh, and I laughed when I saw Shaun and Zach jump out of the bed WEARING THEIR BOXERS!! ::) :laugh: That wasn't very realistic I thought. But maybe that's just me of course. ;)
I liked Gabe, a good man to have as a brother and a friend.
A good movie, I'd like to see it on a bigger screen than my computer screen someday.
