FILM AS TEXT ESSAY “Say thank you Gilbert, say thank you.” Gilbert does indeed have a lot to be thankful to Becky for. In Lasse Hallstrom’s ‘What’s eating Gilbert Grape?’ we see a range of production techniques used to show us just where and why Gilbert is thankful for and some of them are: the way Becky built up Gilbert’s self esteem, made Gilbert feel that he could go anywhere and meliorate his relationship with his corpulent mother. When we first saw Gilbert we observed that Gilbert is a very demure person, the fact that he says nothing much about him when he is introducing his entire family members proves this.
