Everything Before Us - Love Will Set You Free
In Everything Before Us we see a world in which your life and social status is determined by what is called your Emotional Integrity. It was interesting to see how much influence this had on the characters and they decisions they made. In this world, how well you sustain a relationship can either make or break your status in society. In Haley's dorm room, there was poster on the wall that said "Love Will Set You Free." As the story goes, we see that the two couples diverge into each other's expected story lines. At least for me, I thought Haley and Seth's relationship would be the one to continue and Ben and Sara's relationship would discontinue. What was fascinating to see was how the EI score and love, things that were restrictive and brought pain, allowed Haley to live abroad, Seth to start a new path in life, and Ben and Sara to rekindle their relationship. Wong Fu Productions were able to subtly work in the poster as a way to foreshadow the ending.
