There's a scene in aftersun towards the end of the movie where Sophie tells her father 'Can't live in hotels for the rest of our lives.' Yet after you finish watching the movie, tears streaming down your face, you realise that is exactly what happens to Sophie. She will forever be trapped in that hotel, reliving her holiday over and over again. Each time more terrifying, each time more harrowing.
I wonder if adult Sophie, now more aware, now more Callum than Sophie, wonders what each action of her father meant? People do that, they tend to overcompensate for not seeing things the first time by overthinking the second time. Callum might have wanted to leave his daughter with one last happy memory but memory taints. The window you look at your memories through have glass panes made from emotions. I wonder if the grief gives over to anger or if it coexists. If the walls of the hotel gives up beneath her screeching fingernails, is Sophie free from the suffocation or does she realise she still has a continent to cross to meet herself? Does someone reach Sophie before she meets the same fate as Callum?
“I don’t think I wanna change. I like it here”
