View The Goldfinch Boris And Theo Pictures. Upon boris and theo's reunion as young adults, theo takes note of each of the ways boris's physical appearance has changed, down to his teeth. Theo accompanies him to amsterdam, where boris seizes the painting at gunpoint, but they are ambushed by another pair of criminals.

There is a point in chapter 6 that had me confused on theo and boris' relationship. As adults looking in from the outside, we can assume that the barbours and when boris and his associates begin to use the painting as collateral for their criminal transactions, it becomes even more abstract. Boris reveals to theo in the book that he sought him out.

Eventually, a grownup boris (aneurin barnard) shows up with connections to the russian mafia and news about the goldfinch that surprises theo.

Boris kills one of them but is shot, and theo is forced to kill the other. Can someone explain what this passage meant? Boris takes all this in. Theo is incredulous when boris admits to having stolen the goldfinch from theo's locker and having replaced it with a text book wrapped in theo and boris each kill one of their assailants, and a third man gets away with the painting.
