The Royal Tenebaums

The characters in the sequence are framed very tightly.  This can be used to suggest several different things, however in this case I believe they are tightly packed into the room to signify that the whole family is once again crammed into the house.  Even though they are crammed into that little room, there is still a sense of depth and I feel that plays into what message is trying to be conveyed.  The people who care the most for Royal are closest to him.  Ritchie, Pogoda, Ari, and Uzi are the closest to him.  These four cared for Royal more than anyone else.  Then we have Etheline and Margot who are the next two near Royal.  They are further away than the Ritchie group because they care about Royal but not as much as the Ritchie group; there's more skepticism in the female grouping.  Then come Chas followed a little further by Henry.  Chas does not care for Royal one bit, and Henry being the furthest and not related does not trust Royal one single bit.

The other thing I found interesting is all the trophies in the frame.  We know by the trophies that the scene takes place in Ritchies room.  I feel the trophies are to reiterate that we are in Ritchie's room, and I think this is because of the three children Ritchie is the one who cares for Royal the most. This is reinforced later on when Royal is the one who Ritchie opens about to about being in love with Margot. I think the only famous painting this scene reminds me of is The Last Supper.  Royal is like Jesus in the sense that they are the focus of that snapchat because death is near for them.  Additionally, they are surrounded by the ones they love the most.
