Just Add Water

Observations:

California, hot, dry, deserted, strange town, crazy neighbors, wife afraid to leave the house, supermarket low on supplies, Norah, angry son, Ray, kids collecting rent (Dirk), smoking cig, in control, ray's sister not upset about coma mother, tension between Ray's brother and brother's wife, dirtbags run the town, mother in love with her son, Ray takes son to see hookers, Ray seems bothered, tin, Ray-fake money, Rays brother and wife have been having an affair, Eddy not Ray's kid


Infer:

lack of life in Trona, Ray's wife is unstable...something is wrong, Ray and Norah have a connection... they seem like the only sane people in town, son is no longer optimistic, Ray shows optimism, drug dealers have control over the town, tension might be because of affair, more instability on Charlene is seen through her son and the affair, Ray thinks he's doing the right thing but seems uncomfortable, Ray's smart, his life can't get any worse!


Recall:

I have not been able to connect any of these things to our in class assignments. Hopefully as we continue the movie it will tie together!
