Hi Jim/everyone,
Just to add a couple of obvious comments. One, the fact that we jonilistas are always asking here "What does 'boom boom pachyderm' mean?" and "notches liberation doll" what's that? suggests that we are not totally 'getting' joni's lyrics although we enjoy the songs. Why can't we enjoy the movie unless we can all make sense of it if we CAN enjoy the song when we don't understand the words? Second, 'nettles' is kakki's word, not mine and although I don't object to it, it seems to me that my question about the parking lot scene is simply an unclear part of the film to me, and it doesn't really 'bug' me in the way that 'nettles' suggests. I would venture the opinion that nobody can understand/get all the information on ANY movie in ANY single viewing. You spend two hours watching a movie that perhaps involves (a total of) years of effort on the part of many people. How can we expect to 'get it all'? An example; do any of you remember the scene at the beginning of the film 'My Darling Clementine' where Henry Fonda asks Walter Brennan a question, I think about where the town is. Do you remember what happens in the close up of Brennan's face? It's a fraction of a second but it sets up the whole movie. I didn't see it at first, but every time after that, it's crystal clear. OK, David Lynch ain't John Ford, but then who is? mike in bcn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: Click Here
