Little Miss Sunshine
Dwayne grows the most throughout this film and is shaped by the road in the most evident way. Despite his efforts to avoid the family trip, he is tagged along and we see the underlying attachment between Dwayne, Frank and Olive. It seems the Dwayne can only respect and understand people who are simple and lay everything out on the surface, something that Frank does through his honesty and Olive does through her innocence. His vow of silence is obviously the most pressing issue in his life, until he becomes a fighter pilot. The memorable scene of Dwayne in the car playing an eye game with Olive is when he life turns hard when Frank informs him that he is colorblind and therefore cannot fly planes. Emotions mounting- confusion, anger, sadness and maybe relief, the car is pulled over and Dwayne flies out and screams an heart wrenching "FUCK!". Even though this is in deep despair, it seems like somewhat of a let out of complete emotions he has been bottling up through this vow of silence. We later see him talk with frank and Olive and stand up for what he believes in and becomes an intricate part of the family again. He eventually loses all inhibition and dances up stage, hand in hand with his entire family, showing that he has grown and shaped a new person of who he is going to become.
