Revealing Hug | |
| Coming Home / int_1ed91e2a | comment |
Revealing Hug: Sally's empty stare at the ceiling while Bob is having sex with her certainly hints at some emptiness in their relationship. | |

Wedding Ring Removal | |
| Coming Home / int_4d30004d | comment |
Wedding Ring Removal: See Suicide by Sea. The fact that Bob takes his ring off after learning of Sally's infidelity rather strongly suggests that trope. | |

Suicide by Sea | |
| Coming Home / int_7332c94f | comment |
Suicide by Sea: Rather strongly implied at the end of the movie when Bob takes off all his clothes, including his wedding ring, and goes swimming out into the ocean after finding out that Sally cheated on him. | |

Epic Rocking | |
| Coming Home / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: The Chambers Brothers' 11-minute long psychedelic classic "Time Has Come Today" is played, in its entirety, as the soundtrack to the scene where Bob confronts Luke and Sally. | |

| Coming Home / int_7a143509 | comment |
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Vi's brother Bill, who was only in Vietnam for two weeks, but was sent home with severe emotional problems that have him in the VA hospital. And then Bob, who is alienated from his home life even before finding out Sally cheated on him. | |

Sympathetic Adulterer | |
| Coming Home / int_85cefc44 | comment |
Sympathetic Adulterer: Sally is lonely and unsatisfied, her husband Bob is distant (and by the end of the film, crazy) and Luke is kind and noblenote Luke is also able to help Sally reach orgasm, something she could never do with Bob. It almost seems at one point as if the main message behind the film (apart from "War Is Bad!") is that "Adultery Can Be Good for You!" Of course, the infidelity does have negative consequences... but mostly for Bob. One gets the impression that Sally is better off for the experience. | |

Crash-Into Hello | |
| Coming Home / int_ebb3c390 | comment |
Crash-Into Hello: A grosser example than usual. An angry Luke is trying to wrestle his stretcher down the VA hallway, seeking to empty his urine bag. He collides with Sally, and the urine spills all over Sally and the floor. Luke flies into a rage, and is sedated. | |
