The scene begins with a wide shot of the three main characters, with Said standing in the middle of Vinz and Hurbert which has been a common framing throughout the film as Said has been represented as the 'peacekeeper' between the other two as they create conflict. This use of framing has been useful in distinguishing what each character represents. This is because we are told through dialogue that the France stands for equality, fraternity and liberty which is the order that Hurbert, Said and Vinz are always seen framed in which is an important aspect of the mise en scene. As the scene begins, another important feature of the mise en scene that we are shown is the art of philosopher Charles Baudelaire. This is important because Baudelaire said the quote "the world only goes round by misunderstanding" which explains that there is a circle with everything that happens in the world and there is no real reason for this. The quote is significant in this scene because it is the ending scene in the film and it ends the exact same way the film starts; a forward zoom towards Said followed by a close up of his eyes closing. This shot is also important because it shows how when reality is too harsh, people tend to close their eyes in the hopes that the problems will disappear, it shows how people are scared to face issues that the world hands us.
