SPOILER ALERT..Little Red Riding Hood..
Did anyone notice the subtle references to Little Red Riding Hood?
Joanne is wearing a red hoodie in the flashback scenes, when she is "enlisted" by Kelly and Derek. The hoodie is left behind at Duncan's after she kills him. At the end of the film she makes it safely to "Grandmother's House."
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD INTERPRETATIONS FROM WIKIPEDIA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Red_Riding_Hood
"One of the more common interpretations refers to a classic warning against becoming a "working girl." The red cloak was also a classic signal of a prostitute in 17th century France. A Colombian charity recently used this theme in a poster campaign that showed various fairy tale characters reduced to child labour, including Red Riding Hood as a child prostitute."
"Red Riding Hood has also been seen as a parable of sexual maturity. In this interpretation, the red cloak symbolizes the blood of the menstrual cycle, braving the "dark forest" of womanhood. Or the cloak could symbolize the hymen (earlier versions of the tale generally do not state that the cloak is red—the word "red" in the title may refer to the girl's hair color or a nickname). In this case, the wolf threatens the girl's virginity. The anthropomorphic wolf symbolizes a man, who could be a lover, seducer or sexual predator. This differs from the ritual explanation in that the entry into adulthood is biologically, not socially, determined."
In the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood is saved by the character of the Hunter. In LTB, though, Little Red Riding Hood (Joanne) isn't saved by the "hunter", she actually kills the "wolf" (or wolves-being Duncan and Derek) herself.
Might be just be a coincidence or intentional. Thoughts?
