I love how throughout the entire movie the camera moves with the characters and follows them but at the very end when Jason drives off it doesn't go with him. Beautiful and touching

[@MichaelPReid-db5wv]

Very good point and subtle enough that it didn't get mention in analyses of the film: Jason riding off into the distance demonstrates that he leaves westward and literally goes beyond "the place beyond the pines", Schenectady (which means "the place beyond the pines" in Mohawk), the setting of the majority of the entire script to this point - the camera remaining stationary as he rides off shows that Jason furthermore leaves the camera behind, and therefore figuratively goes beyond "The Place Beyond the Pines" the film and its script for the character, and that he is free.

[@Thewoxter]

That's such a great observation.

[@cuppatae834]

OMG yes!

[@sweetwildangel1]

It didn't show when Josh Goshing character fell through the window dying after being shot and splattered body below which was so sad... because this scene shows JUST HOW so many men try to feed their FAMILIES ENDING UP!

Love how Bradley Cooper's son was the troublemaker, but Gosling's was the complete opposite.

[@explanationmark_]

(i know i’m late but) jason arguably was a troublemaker too. he was mixed up in drugs, did some pretty bad stuff in the film and wasn’t objectively a *good* person.

[@danielyoung6778]

gregotheus_ all he did was smoke weed and some minor crimes like shoplifting , Cooper's kid on the other hand was an asshole

[@titusbramble7403]

matthew woodall as sad as it it he was probably a significantly better person because he wasn’t around whereas Bradley Cooper’s son was probably much worse because his father was around

[@PlainTrickyy]

That’s the point I think it shows the good and bad in everyone despite there back ground cooper was a good man but was caught up in his own desires and let that get in the way of others lives

[@FollowFunk]

So kidnapping, shoplifting and pistol whipping someone is the opposite of a trouble maker?

Like father, like son. Never seen a movie depict a bond between a father and a son more touching than this movie. Beautiful movie, beautiful ending.

[@esyphillis101]

The tragedy of the film is that by the end Jason ends up in the same position as his father: no money, no future. Just a lone wanderer on a bike. It implies that the cycle of poverty, crime and death will continue.

[@rymle]

Hey man, at least he's finally happy and free. Not everyone can achieve that

[@jacksonandrus1126]

I see it as he's left the place beyond the pines. He's left behind the sins of his father but still carrying on his spirit

[@Ligierthegreensun]

I felt the same way until I saw someone else's take on it. While it's true it seems there's ambiguity about how Jason's future will end because he's in the same position Luke likely was (e.g: no father, no money as you said, a vagabond on a bike), there's a lot of visual clues to show that Jason probably won't follow completely in his father's footsteps. The first scene you see Luke ride, he's in a cage, at night, representing how small and stifled his life will be. This is in contrast to Jason, whose path is wide, open, beautiful and most importantly, full of vibrant light. I think the film means to imply that Jason's future isn't bound by Luke's tragic life, but he clearly carries the wildness that Luke embodied as well.

[@lianicious2357]

[@brandonGCHACHU]

The sad thing about this movie is that it's so relatable to many of us. Luke and Romina were made for each other but were separated by life. If they were strong enough to fight and push for each other they could've lived a beautiful life with Jason as a complete family. We all get pushed and pulled in life....sadly we often aren't strong enough to overcome our demons.

Good God this movie was devastating.

[@tinitusrhy5138]

Devastatingly inspiring, it tells us not to get chained by the past and start living our own life.

[@Ligierthegreensun]

@@tinitusrhy5138 It's heavily implied that Jason is following the same path his father did. The symbolism of the bike shows a deep connection to his father. At some point Luke talks about how he didn't have his father and "look how he ended up". While it's possible Jason doesn't follow in that path, it's very likely given that he's leaving his entire social support, having not finished school and barely money to his name, just a bike and ideas about moving westward. I don't see the ending as inspiring, it seems really tragic.

Yep, I just watched this movie for the first time today and it really blew my mind. One of the most gut wrenchingly sad movies ive ever seen.

[@ericlain9446]

The boy picked a real good first bike. Dad would have been proud. Nothing like buying something from a man who knows how to maintain and care for things. The man who sold the boy the bike, was just like Luke in that regard. Before Luke had a family, he had his bike. It ran like a champ because he took care of it. Luke wanted to care for his family, too, after he knew he had one.

He, just like Coopers' son, ends up exactly as their dads. Just like Gosling was a looser his son will see the same fate.

[@Treefort1]

Not necessarily. Many that I grew up with in Schenectady did what Jason did. I travelled west to the Pacific and never moved back. This movie has a real feel of my home town in so many ways. The film stirred up a lot of old memories. The dense green of the woods particularly.

[@johnwils9133]

Growing up without his father, estranged from his mother. Didnt have a happy ending feeling to me, just a poignant and powerful ending.

[@siegfriedpintar]

John Wils The movie starts with Luke riding into a cage, it ends with his son Jason riding off into the open road. That's a happy ending if you ask me, Luke's son was able to overcome what he never could and that's the ultimate goal for a father, for your son to be a better man than you were.

[@MrMickeyQ22]

Jason wanted to do the one thing he heard his dad was good at. Everything else he knew about his dad was bad, but he asked the friend if his dad was good at anything. The guy tells him he was the best rider he had ever seen, and therefore, Jason wanted to do that... hence, the motorcycle.

Just think about it for a sec, not only did jason discovered the truth about his dad and his dad’s past was being hidden from him. he also had to leave anyways after pistol whipping AJ and kidnapped and robbed Bradly cooper. I’m sure Jason felt miserable just knowing that Bradly cooper is the district attorney for the town and is the one that killed his father. Im guessing the more he stayed in that town it will just give him more Depression to use drugs and being in trouble. I’m sure he left for the greater good from being away from the law and causing anymore trouble for his family. I would have left to tbh lol.

In the end, she paid the price
