Bookends: Near the beginning of the film, just after his beloved uncle George has died, grief-stricken 14-year-old John goes over to Mimi and hugs her from behind. She shrugs him off and says firmly "Let's not be silly," setting up how much he needs affection, and how resistant she is to giving it. At the end of the film, 19-year-old John needs Mimi to sign some papers so he can get a passport and go and play rock & roll in Hamburg. When she asks him is she parent or guardian, he says "Both." She looks stunned for a moment, then is overwhelmed with emotion and hugs him. He hugs her back, then he murmurs "Don't be silly," and she lets go. He's become much more independent, while she's become much better at showing the people she loves that she needs them.
