This was done to show the grieving of losing her fiancé. In The Brave One the acting by Foster through dealing with killing other people was executed well because it showed her wondering if certain feelings and actions were normal. Also you always knew when some thing serious was going to happen because the music would become more prevalent and it had an old horror movie vibe. In the Bedroom has acting that is executed well; the grieving mother Ruth Fowler (Sissy Spacek) is one of the better ones. She is able to start out as more of pushing her feelings to the side and then she is able to portray the outbursts of frustration well because it isn’t too much to think that she is over dramatic but enough to understand what she might be feeling
