Opening Scene


Why did the woman get out of the car and shoot the pony? Was it the short-haired
Woman with no soul?

Also that looked so real. I thought they might have actually killed a real pony, but John C. Reilly dropped out of a Von Trier film because the director was going to slaughter a donkey, so I doubt he'd be onboard with killing a pony!

Anyone want to chime in on that opening scene? What did it mean?

Probably so jcl2, *beep* But I certainly don't since it's a piece of garbage.

So why bother 'answering' the question? It's no help to the OP, or anyone else, and just makes you look an arse.

I just assumed the pony was a former person that woman really despises ?

reply

Probably, but I don't really care. This movie was crap.

With all the times that you have posted about this movie you do seem to care.

I think it was a donkey. And yeah, it may have been someone whom the woman hated so much as a person that she also wanted to kill him as an animal. Ex-husband maybe?

reply

yes, it was def. a donkey.just watched the film;
worth seeing the dvd for the special feature of interviews w/ cast and directors.

reply

You are so annoying. Don't you have anything better to do than go to the internet and insult people and movies? Yeesh!

this scene makes me wonder too, I theorize the donkey is probably a person she really upset or despise. after watching the movie, I think maybe he/she divorce her those making both of them have trouble and go to "the hotel", only she survived the ordeal. Curiously, there was another donkey that approached the dead donkey . . . a friend at the hotel?? I theorize this because there was a scene where David's friend that suggest to become a parrots together.

reply

I took it as a mercy killing by the woman, that maybe it was someone she really cared about as a human so she killed it to put her friend/family member out of their misery.

reply

I saw it as an angry exwife going after her ex who preferred to live as a donkey, eating and having sex with a big dong every day. She just went and killed him/it.
