sing a song of six pence!?
was it ever explained in the movie? or am i to assume its just to help confirm shes back in the real world and lucid?
shareNever saw it explained, I think your assumption would be considered a logical (if not obvious) conclusion.
Although, I also wondered if it was like a "secret word" sort of password sequence. Since they are still experimenting, maybe they wanted to make sure it was still her - not someone else taking over her brain and body; is it really you, or have you been taken over by another personality? Although the other "entity" might know the child's rhyme as well (or song, or what ever that is).
cool idea but i think itd be flawed pretty easily, other than thinking "what is she on about!?" id probly join in with it and pass the test!!
shareDo you know who they were referring to, when they mentioned Six Pence?
sharei dont follow....
shareHopefully, you can follow this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_a_Song_of_Sixpence
i can read it. but it still doesnt help...
shareHow does it not help? It answers your question. Do you wear a helmet?
sharesometimes. how does it help answer my question?
shareExactly.
sharedo you know how to cut and paste? it might help you make your point a bit better :p
shareI've made my point. I can't be any clearer than that.
shareyes you can! i asked what relevence it has to the movie. you gave kme a wiki link to a page about the ryhme. i cannot find any info on the movie on that page. if the page has useful info on it copy and paste it here. if not then just apologise for wasting my precious time!!
shareIf you watched the movie, you would know why it's relevant.
shareoh, i should watch the movie...AGAIN!? if you stoped writing all these comments and just showed me the info instead of a link to a whole page you could have answered the question by now
shareI did, you dumbass. I am done dealing with your stupidity. Please stop replying to me.
shareno you didnt. if someone else can make sense of this persons ramblings please chip in

"Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.[1]"
This in NO *beep* WAY explains that part.

I think it is a real shame that sweiland75 chose to be so churlish (even troll-ish). One might even surmise that he/she did not understand the connection either.
Thanks to Wikipedia we see that this poem has many versions and many interpretations and has also been referenced many times thru-out history.

I don't expect to ever know which part of this poem sweiland75 thinks is relevant and I don't care (I've set this annoying person to "ignore").
But, here is the interpretation that caught my eye as "possibly" being relevant:
"From a folklorish tradition, the blackbird taking the maid's nose has been seen as a demon stealing her soul."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_a_Song_of_Sixpence
I like how it reflects the "dark", underworld vision of Catherine's dangerous journeys into the unknown - a place where demons live . . . and we all have our demons.
Personally I think sweiland75 just realised he had made a mistake and pretended to be cryptic to hide it. Christ, if someone can't even admit a mistake on the anony-net then I'd hate to know them in real life.
