When thinking of films that can illustrate many cinematic elements put together in an interesting and organized way, the film Rumble Fish comes to mind. Director Francis Ford Coppola demonstrates how metaphors can help decipher a deeper meaning of the film. Rumble Fish is a movie about growing up and seeing new things that have never been seen before. The two main characters, brothers Rusty James and Motorcycle Boy, experience internal conflicts. Rusty James, the younger of the two, admires his brother and wants to be like him. However, the eldest has grown from his previous attitude of always fighting and he doesn't want his brother to follow in his footsteps. Throughout the film, he asks Rusty James why he is following him. The Motorcycle Boy knows his brother is somewhat stuck in the city and someone needs to get him out or free him. He looks at the fish in the pet store to explain this and that is how he relates to his brother's problems. This is the scene that will be examined when Rusty James is in the pet store with his brother and they are looking at the fish. It was discussed how everyone in town looks up to the Motorcycle Boy, and on several occasions Rusty James stated that he would look like him when he was older. Even though the Motorcycle Boy never shows much affection, he wants something better for his brother, and even though he never tells his brother to leave until the end when he knows he is going to die, he tries to let her know through the fish. So, until this point in the film, the viewer never really knows how the Motorcycle Boy feels about his brother. The pet store is a metaphor for the lives of these two brothers. The Motorcycle Boy senses that the fish are angry because they are trapped in the aquarium, he says that if they were in the river they wouldn't fight. To him, Rusty James is the fish and if he left their town, he would realize that there is something more to life. The scene begins with the clouds dissolving and a sign reading "Pet Shop"..
