Q\'s about movies that have been on cable lately
Been spending a lot of time watching/rewatching movies while on paternity leave. I got like a ton of questions about a few of them:
Kill Bill Vol. 2 1. Why does the Bride cry on the floor at the end? 2. Bud shoots the Bride with a "double dose of rock salt." Is it literally rock salt? Can you do that? wouldn't 2 regular shotgun shells just have killed her? Collateral 1. The wolf crossing the street; what is the symbolic significance of it? Is this a scene you might actually see in L.A. in the middle of the night? Seems a little implausible... Magnolia 1. The frogs that fall out of the sky. I never understood this. It seemed gimmicky and weird. 2. Everyone singing. I never understood this. It seemed gimmicky and weird. 3. Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I think this is like the only movie where he isn't playing a wretched person? |

- she cries because she's happy.
- yes it's literally rock salt. he's not trying to kill her with a shotgun blast, he's using her capture to angle for money. - the symbolic signifigance is whatever you make of it. i found it to simply be an interesting moment of pause. - pt anderson loves to talk about himself. i'm sure he's discussed this somewhere, perhaps in the dvd's commentary if it has one. raining frogs is a common historical tale. - i'm sure the fact that you found it noteworthy was the point of doing it. - psh plays some random dude in twister. |
