Bleach...


I don't understand the importance of bleach in this film? He washes his hands both at his house and at the bar with it and he does it a lot because the bottle of his house is almost empty and he made a note to buy more. He is also seen washing the floor of his house, the part where the blood was at later in the movie.

Why so many references of it? Am i missing something?

Signs of a guilty conscience. Constantly trying to wash his hands...

Exactly what the above poster said.
He was trying to 'scrub his past clean', erase what has happened.


I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I worked in a metallurgical factory once [just like Trevor], and in the end of the day I had to took two showers. My fingernails had oil debris and small pieces of iron, that only bleach could clean. That's the second reason why he used bleach.

yeah it's like lady macbeth and the - "Out, damned spot! out, I say!" - scene.

It's the only thing strong enough to get his hands clean.

From both guilt and machinery.

Whether in his mind, out of it, or both.

Washing away your sins

He substituted soap for bleach and lye

It was a good hint

Maybe the empty bottle of bleach was used to clean the blood of the kid from his car.

reply

He purposely destroyed his car after the accident ...

It was intended to be a bleach promotional advertisement? lol else he's gotten used to tough cleaning substances since he's a machine operator and normal hand wash doesnt help get that grease outta his hands that easy... that's where bleach comes in.

Do you think flattery will keep you alive?

reply

Well, I was inspired to try bleach to clean my kitchen grout!

reply

Haha! I thought of that, too!
