Another scene where the cinematography is important is the scene where Holden finally admits his feelings to Alyssa. The scene goes on as they are in Holden's car while he is driving her home. The camera is in the back seat of the car. The camera is not held stationary and has sparatic movements and shakes going back and forth from Holden to Alyssa. Until the car comes to a screeching halt. The camera angle quickly changes to showing from the front of the cabin in the car. This is where he admits to her that he can no longer hold his feelings in any longer. As he tells her everything, this is the first time that they use a close up between toe two. First they show a close up of him so show how sincere that he is in his feelings, and while he is talking the angle quickly changes to her to show how she has a look of shock and almost like she is appalled. Quickly to cut back to him, still close up, to him again with the same look like he is almost kidding and relieved that he had finally gotten this off of his chest. Then a close up of her as she leaves in a hurry from the car, while Holden is close to follow.

It shows that this is a trivial time in each of their lives, and a decision from one choice to the other could change their lives forever. They showed this perfectly with the camera work of going back and forth between one side and the other. Once again Holden is on the right side, saying how every relationship has a period of adjustment. While on the left is Alyssa telling him that it is not that easy, she is gay, and telling him changing her sexual preference can turn her whole world into upheaval. Using unsteady and sparatic camera work shows that her life is as hectic as it is, it does not need any more changes. But as Holden walks off camera in one direction, and Alyssa walks off in the other, she quickly runs back into the scene and passionately kiss each other and while they do that, the camera work becomes stable once again. After they decide to try to change their lives, everything is going wonderfully as they find out that they complete each other. Until one day when Holden finds out about her past sexual experiences that make him feel like he is inferior to her and that she has been lying to him all along. The scene is in a hockey arena, as Holden and Alyssa watch a local team play. While the scene is going on, Holden alludes that he know
