Disclaimer: I do not own the scene featured in this video, and therefore I neither have monetized the video. This scene is a part of the series 13 Reasons Why, which belongs to Netflix.
This is a very important scene to me, as it shows that even if your parents are decent people with no ill intent, there is still that possibility that you will nevertheless turn the opposite direction.
What's been hard to figure out is whether Bryce became a serial rapist from the freedom his mom mentioned he had, or whether he is born with psychopathic traits. In a later scene, you will see Justin and Bryce from the 3rd grade, and there Bryce seems like a sweet boy who stuck up for Justin. Later, Bryce steals some twinkies from a kid who was teasing Justin and in this part, it's hard to tell whether Bryce just stole the twinkies because he just wanted them himself and only shared them with Justin just to make a friend, or whether it truly was with good intentions.
It's all nature vs nurture. Is Bryce a natural born psychopath? Or is it that Bryce's parents really neglected him to the point that he became
selfish and lacking of empathy? Bryce even mentions in the end of this scene how he always was a stranger in the house as a response to what his mom now considers him.
Let me know what you guys think in the comments section.
Kudos to the actors Justin Prentice as Bryce Walker and Brenda Strong as Ms. Walker of this well played scene.
