Close to the end of the song you can see the white guy on the right groping the girl in front of him while he is cunningly smiling. Nobody says anything ,although ,the guy in the middle -and probably the girl next to her- notice it.I assume the teacher catches it as well. A symbol maybe of our hypocrisy by the director ,displaying that subtle action while they perform that song.
@@dr.g.o.a.t.ph.d9250 I think you two are going too far in your interpretation of the action. The young woman does not appear angry or disturbed. It struck me more as a playful interaction between adolescents, neither showing decay or hypocrisy. The purpose of the action is to counter balance with Hawkes age, despair, and anger. The young people are playful and flirting, they want things and they strive for tomorrow. Hawke is not. He is beaten down. This interpretation is supported by the lines of Hawke and the choir director who acknowledge the action and remark on the playful hopefulness of the teens.
Schrader shot the film in a 4:3 ratio to make the close ups of people very close as if they were talking to god/claustrophobic
Meisterwerk Film von Paul Schrader

I always interpreted it as a representation of moral decay, not only is the natural world dying, but our principles and values are also.
