I'd also love an explanation, or more like a total breakdown of the events in the movie and their significance.
I like to watch challenging films and usually have no problem keeping my attention up during a complicated or weird film, but this one went completely over my head!
The only "explanations" I've read say "it's about buddhism"...wow, I kind of figured that out, but I still have no idea why there were gorilla ghosts with glowing eyes, a sex scene between a princess and a fish, multiplying characters and all that stuff.
And what lives of Uncle Boonmee were actually shown? I recall the first scenes in the forest with these buffalos or whatever they were, then later the fish-sex-scene and apart from that it was basically only the main storyline in the house with Boonmee during his last days and the aftermath of his death.
Was that really all? So what does it imply? Is there any message or point?
I really don't want to criticize or discredit tthe movie at this point, but I really have no idea what I watched and while there are many people who claim they loved it I couldn't find one decent explanation/interpretation on these forums.
Anyone?
