“The Mosquito Coast” is a great movie directed by Peter Weir. When I was watching it, I noticed some foreshadowing. It skillfully implied some further play. It made me excited and curious about what would happen next. Following are three examples of foreshadowing in “The mosquito Coast”.

Charlie found that the world was not belonged to his father and things he said weren’t all true. He wanted to take his family back to the US and even leave Ally alone because Ally was wrong. “Now he was gone and I wasn’t afraid to love him anymore” (The Mosquito Coast 1:54:11) In the end, Ally died and Charlie could love him as his father instead of a
