Captain Fantastic: Ending Scene

 Throughout the film, there has been an ongoing conflict between Ben and Jack.  Jack is more used to the traditional American lifestyle while Ben is living the alternate lifestyle in the wilderness. At the end of the film, this has been resolved as they both get what they want. Jack wins as the children are now safe with them living with Ben at a farm house and Jack get's his children back after Jack was going to file for custody over them. At the end, they are now living on a house on a farm. This is shown with the chickens in their coop and the two daughters collecting the eggs. Their is still greenery around the house which links to the beginning with them in the wilderness. This is to show even though he now lives in a house, he has not completely changed his lifestyle as they are still isolated and do not live right in the suburbs. Ben now looks like an ordinary American citizen which contrasts with him at the start with muddy clothes and a full beard. The tyres on the caravan are missing which could imply that he does not intend to leave and is intent on staying there from now on, especially since all the children are at school now and Bo has gone to college. The children are seen doing their homework and are showing a real interest in their studies which goes to show Ben was a good father and was raising them the right way. Even  the son was giving Ben his breakfast which is prove he was raised in a good way. 

There is no voiceover in this scene and no one is talking but are instead just sitting quietly and getting on with their studies.  For each child, there is a close up shot of either their homework or what they're reading wThis is a good ending and it shows the children are at school and live in a proper home which is what Jack wanted. Although, it might not of worked out for Ben as the final shot is of him looking out into the caravan perhaps to show he's going to miss his old life of living in the wilderness and traveling around but now the children are at school he knows  this is where he's gonna stay now on which is a reason for why the tires are off the caravan.
