“Come on! Fall on your face.” This quote shows that shortcuts are not always easy and short as we expected. Bing Bong told Joy and Sadness there is a shortcut. He claimed that the route was safe as he’d taken it many times before. It is easy to go and can buy time for them. However, they got into trouble when getting through Abstract Land. They’re changing into abstract shapes and going from 3D to 2D shape. Through these changes, it looked like they may not make their way to Riley’s brain.

Indigenous people have faced hundreds of years of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of the Canadian government; although it may not be as obvious now as it was in the past, oppression and racism are still deeply rooted in modern Canadian society.

The duo’s entire journey is, in fact, a seemingly endless series of obstacles which the Man and Boy must face. These obstacles range from cannibals slowly trekking down the road to Mother Nature itself. For example, the Man and Boy barely escape cannibalistic gangs both when a gang unexpectedly appears on the road and when the Man discovers the basement of one such gang packed with naked men and women. In addition, even after securing a source of food, such as when they find the bunker, the Man and Boy always face the potential of starvation and the freezing cold weather because the Man knows they cannot carry all the food they find and that they cannot stay in one location for an extended period of time. Moreover, on two occasions, once when the cannibalistic gang find their cart and once when the thief on the beach steals the cart, do the Man and Boy lose nearly everything they have (though, they eventually catch the beach thief and, to the Boy’s disappointment and sadness, the Man forces him to give them everything he has).

Hence, the name of the theme itself. On the other hand, ‘Good vs. Evil’ is another popular theme as it relates to many superheroes and villain movies.

The most apparent themes in this film are loneliness and isolation. Based on the cinematography, it is evident that wide shots of the characters occupy a small space alone or an extremely large space with many people who are completely unaware of their existence. Both of these things work to portray the idea that Murray's character, Bob, and Johansson's character, Charlotte, are lonely, isolated, and missing something. The director also uses the concept of balance to pass the message on the emotional state of the characters.

Not only is it important to know the difference between evil and moral people, but it is also important to know the difference between evil and moral objects or settings.
