The Tourismers don’t see a lot of what happens outside of the family’s experiences, and background knowledge is required to fully understand the context. The first part of the movie assimilates us with the characters. This is vital for the director to do as
“forging a sympathetic link to them is crucial for the remainder of the picture to have the desired impact.”
The father, in the story, pretends that the concentration camps are just activity/vacation camps in order not to worry his son.
Even just before the father is executed by German soldiers, he continues to play out the fictitious reality for his son’s wellbeing. Since the diagetic narrator is the son (as he looks back upon life), this helps the audience assume that these experiences helped him to survive and thus adds to the character-line.
The dream is representative of being overwhelmed by the outside world. The end is left up to the viewers to decide and again is a vessel that can contains whatever the audience assumes to happen. This is mainly to stop Tourisms syndrome from being stereotyped as something that is common for causing suicide.
The theme surrounds the character’s feelings, which are intended to communicate his paranoia, obsessive mistrust and misinterpretation of others. Such can range from psychotically severe to very mild in Tourism people.
For the sake of time, the aspect of music was left out of this montage. This was something that was specifically unique to my experiences, and thus takes longer to explain how it ties in with Tourism’s Syndrome, which was the reason for omitting it in the final production.
