Symbolism + The End
Who did the cat symbolize? Her inner "super ego" trying to rationalize and make choices through sarcasm? If so, who did she symbolize when playing herself, in her delusions, what's left when you're split apart? Dunno, didn't really pay much attention, might watch it again, but that ending was quite bad, everything just "stopped", I can't believe that "mother flies away into a golden warm light" was real, that was soooo cheesy I though it was another trick by that "inner demon mother", but I guess this passes as classy and subtle in Australia, that big golden light and ascencion went out in 1950's Cartoons in the US I guess.
Oh well, could have been better, wasn't bad, the ending was queer. Were the pirates/sailors on the Oil Tanker real EVER?
