This was a bit of an unusual listen for me and probably wouldn’t have been something I stuck with if it hadn’t been for the Guadagnino film that’s coming out soon.

She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity, for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her--how they judge her.

And it wasn’t even necessarily food that they had prepared, so it wasn’t like your Great Aunt Gertrude or whatever saying, “You don’t want to eat the food that I’m trying to nourish you with?

The scene then cuts to their apartment being cleaned out, and Maren and Lee out in the wilderness together.Bones And All' With Timothée Chalamet Draws Women, Younger Demos In Limited Opening – Specialty Box Office". There, Maren reunites with her mother, who she is shocked to find has self-cannibalized her own hands.

Maren later spots Lee outside, who is covered in the man's blood, and the two admit to having previously recognized each other's scents.

Like, I mentioned Finding Nemo before, and how the sharks in Finding Nemo decide they want to be vegetarian, and they’re struggling.In an interview with TheWrap, Reznor and Ross explained that they had extensive discussions with Guadagnino regarding the score, who stated that he wanted it to be "a melancholic elegy, an unending longing. And it’s funny, because there definitely is the “ick” factor of her being an Eater and eating humans—but you’re reading about her and you understand her issues, and her insecurities, and her fears, and her relationships, and you want her to succeed. When Maren finally meets other cannibals, she discovers that they all choose their victims for different reasons, a fact that forces her to grapple with whether or not there is a valid moral argument for making that kind of meaty distinction.
