Change

In the movie The Station Agent, there is on main character that changes very much. Fin starts out by being a very quiet guy who always kept to himself. He never really talked to anyone very much, and when he did he only said what was needed to be said. Fin would never say more than what was needed, only the bare minimum. In the beginning of the movie Fin is left with a home right next to the tracks, that was left to him by his friend he worked for at a toy train store. This really set up how Fin changed throughout the movie. When he first moves in he meets a guy named Joe who owns a mobile store, where he gets his coffee in the morning. In the beginning all he wants to do is get his coffee and be on his way, but this would change later in the movie. He also meets a nice lady named Olivia on his way home from the store. These two people would really change Fin as a person. Fin would always try to keep to himself, and all he wanted was to be left alone. This would change once Joe would constantly prod him into trying to do different things with him, like going on walks. Also, a combination of him and Olivia would turn out to make this happen. Fin eventually gave in, and the three of them went on a walk to a deserted bridge where the trains used to pass. They also had dinner at Olivia's house together later in the movie. These different events helped Fin to become a more outgoing person, and he actually started to be more social. If I was in his position though, I feel I would want to be left alone considering all of the grief I would have got for being a little person. Befriending Joe and Olivia really helped Fin, and all in all made him a happier guy.
