Why... (spoilers attached)


there my title will make nobody be pissed off at me by giving the ending lol.

i have a question why did Neil want to shoot JD Salinger? sure he has mental issues and all but was there a reason why he would want to shoot his absolute hero? cuz if there was i didnt catch it.

oh btw the film was brilliant! lol

What I think is that it has something to do with what he was saying about the guy (suddenly can't recall the name) who shot John Lennon. The way he was talking about it seemed as if it was something so fantastic, maybe he wanted to do with the same with his hero.

If you were waiting for the opportune moment... that was it.

i think it was because he wouldn't talk to neil and give him the interview he wanted. he wanted to talk to him, even it at extremes
