Ok, i get most of it but i wonder about a couple of things.. *Spoilers*


Well, i just watched the film and i understand most of it, it is all a bit six degrees of seperation, i see how some characters link BUT, somethings confuse me a little

1: im not sure what the point of the strap-on lesbian sex was at the beggining (Smelled a bit like an exploitation movie to me)

2: Im assuming the scene where Jill Bennetts character goes into a house is the home where she lived with her girlfriend (Who she was having sex with and who made her the tape) and that she had left her and Jill Bennet was pissed, hence the shooting of picture and trying for the dog

The above points come across as attempts to show us more about the characters personality/private life

3: The prof walked in to a bedroom naked with a gun, one can assume that he is going in to kill his wife, especially as the voice over in the movie talks about freedom in death, If that is the case, why was he naked? he seemed to have problems with intimacy and getting naked so its very out of character that he would get naked to kill her OR is he going to try and get her to give him Anal sex with the barrell of the gun as that seemingly was the only way he could get turned on. (well at the very least that was the only time he appeared turned on sexually in the whole film- frustrating hitwoman as she wanted it to be a painful thing for him not pleasurable) OR linked to the last point was he getting her to penetrate him and pull the trigger, he asked the hit woman to pull the trigger (sitting in line with the theory of pleasure and death he was talking about in his lectures, as well as the voice over)





Tom - former cult child cut off without any money after accident

Daphne - carer of Tom, cousin of Dale (MeatLoaf)kidnapped sister of Tom from cult in order to get some money owed to Tom

Dale(Meatloaf) - told the cult where to find his cousing and kidnaped girl in order to get some money

Hitwoman/Marcy(Jill Bennett)- hired by the cult/church to track down kidnapped girl, Dale and Daphne possibly Tom as well

Proffessor Bill: OCD suffere with wife who leaves him for another woman

Faruza(Lacey Chabert): Escort who sits in classes despite not being a student, tries to seduce prof and rides away with Tom

They all end up at the smae place at the same time with some of the characters meeting.





So after looking at the above meetings and characters to me that says that the Lesbian strap-on sex scene and the house scene with the videotape was a way of showing the audience a little more of the Hitwoman/Marcy's character

Im still not sure on the proffessor ending scene though


Any thoughts on my late night ramblings LOL

I think the reason Angus's character (Bill Plummer) was naked at the end was because he was going to have sex with her then kill her and her girlfriend then finally himself. The movie was very confusing and I didn't really understand it too well myself but that seemed to be the proper ending in my eyes

Why must close-minded people always open their mouths?
