There is a scene where the protagonist is driving to the home of Mrs. Buttle. There is a brief moment where we see a drunken bum, but he's like a giant in comparison to the car. I didn't really understand what was supposed to be happening in this scene. Is it suggesting that the bum is hallucinating this whole thing?
"Just forget you ever saw it. It's better that way."
I always thought it was just supposed to be a member of the film crew, setting up the intentionally hokey sets. Just an in-joke, I think.
shareIt's a small replica of the projects( neighborhood ) in a glass / plastic case. Like the one they create in order to present as a small model. It was suppose to be a nice clean and happy community in theory I assume but it turn into a shatty neighborhood late on. Rewatch the scene . You will see.
shareThis is correct.
shareI assumed that it was just a little visual gag about how what we assume is a model effect turns out to actually be a model in the film, sort of like the intro of Beetlejuice (wonder if the Beetlejuice scene was inspired by that part of Brazil at all?).
