explenations to side storys, people on bus, old man dieing etc.
hey peeps, first of all, Loved the movie, got so confused on what to think about it i went searching for explanations of it, but found this, so it'll have to do ^_^
anyway, ive been reading through the topics here, and couldnt see anything about when Francis is on the bus, and he keeps seeing people coughing violently, and this makes him very uncomfortable and irational,
im pretty sure its a mental thing, but im not sure what its ment to represent? anyone know?
secondly, what was with the old man on the life suport kit? outside his bedroom window across the way? at one stage he sees him strugling for life the next theres a man cleaning the appartment with a hose sort of thing, which is normaly only used when theres a lot of blood involved, so what could this be?
also, i saw people talking about the whole notion of the Canabal chick being the devil, or representing evil
well, i was thinking, could the young black boy on the bus who always stares at him be a sort of angel? or to an extent god? watching and judging him? sometimes Francis cant even bare to look at the boy, whereas sometimes he can, could this be after he confeses his sins,only then he can look into his judging eyes?
and, on the subject that Sal is his brother. i think i can accept this, however, when he rips her shirt off, im pretty sure i saw breats, but then again, this may not have been intentional by director, im sure its pretty hard to get a body suite that would completly cover the actress' tits
one more point on sal, at one point she says "im your step-mother" could this just be her own denile, and wanting so much to be a woman,that she calls herself that? or could she really be the step-mother?
oh, and what about the girl in the pictures? im pretty sure Francis imagined the man with the photos, because when he chases after him out the shop, the man has dissapeared.
however, when Francis sees the girl in the supermarket with the girl, she is definatly REAL, then when he chases after, we see that the man in the car is the man who wanted his photos developed. BUT! Francis doesnt see the man in the car, so i think this is tryign to tell us that, the girl exsists, and the father just took pictures of her, and got them developed. but Francis just turned the whole situation out of control and got paranoid and started imagining she was missing...but im not quite sure why the man would run away out of the shop from francis
anyway, ive rambled on too long, please get back to me with your opinions etc. on what i wrote, and try answer my questions ^_^
