Gary's Elbow


Why was he so reluctant to show the boys his arm in the bowling green building?

reply

Ah, for that really obvious reason that I worked out on my 2nd viewing.

Boy, do I feel silly.

reply

Seeing your post made me think about it for a few seconds and I figured it out..thanks!

Okay then, somebody explain it to me please.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.

He doesn't want to show the bandages of his wrists that are evidence of his suicide attempt. They're revealed later in the film.

reply

Because he's tried to commit suicide by slitting his wrists. You see the bandages near the end of the film, and what you see at the beginning of the film is him in a psychiatric ward (not the AA as some have stated).
