can someone PLEASE explain the whole espionage plot?


okay, so i just watched Fay Grim after not watching Henry Fool, and i barely understood the story. Can someone basically give an overview of the whole espionage/Henry's back story, and explain this movie in relation to it?


Thanks for any feedback :)

The specifics aren't important.

But if you haven't seen Henry Fool, then why even ask? For all you know, the entire second film is explained by the first. Guess what: it's not.


I always knew it was going to be like this.

can someone send me the clip so i can watch it ? :P
"the espionage thing"

Well, Shut Up And Drive.

I think the whole convoluted espionage plot is a MacGuffin, and I doubt even the writer could explain it. This is more a parody of convoluted plots, and once I quit trying to piece together the details, I rather enjoyed it.

^ this. Perhaps the entire convoluted plot is a MacGuffin, so just sit back & enjoy.
