Only Sane Man | |
| Shotgun Stories / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Cleaman is far more reasonable and non-confrontational toward Son, Boy, and Kid than his three brothers are. He does hold Son at gunpoint in one scene, but only because Son did the same thing to him earlier, and he's still willing to hear Son out. | |

Parental Abandonment | |

Parental Abandonment: Son, Boy, and Kid's father was an abusive drunk who abandoned the family, and by all appearances even after he sobered up and found religion never reached out to them again. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Shotgun Stories / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Cycle of Revenge ends abruptly when Boy finds he can't actually bring himself to murder anyone point-blank with the titular shotgun. They talk things out and agree to leave each other alone. Also counts as a Bittersweet Ending | |

Every Scar Has a Story | |
| Shotgun Stories / int_ea6abe17 | comment |
Every Scar Has a Story: The movie is essentially named after this trope: Son (Shannon) has prominent scarring on his back from a shotgun blast, and several stories are told throughout the film, explaining them. Each story gives an alternate interpretation for who he is as a person, and for his motivations throughout the film. | |
