Spiders?


I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was some kind of significance to him imagining spiders coming after him or was it just because he was afraid of them? Maybe that is mentioned in the book but I don't recall them saying anything about it in the movie. I hate them so I spent much of the movie hiding my face!

There are several places when he is having flashbacks, seeing the people who died as a result of one of the bombing raids they went on, where you see spiders crawling around the bodies.

Thanks, I guess I didn't notice that.

The back cover of the DVD shows a spider on his face, but I didn't see that in the film.

In the book, the spiders are real - he doesn't imagine them.

Wait Master, it might be dangerous... you go first.

I haven't seen the DVD, but when he first arrives, the nurse wheels him into a room that has webs in the doorway, and then you see him trying to wipe the web off his face and a spider is in the web that he is trying remove.
