So what is the rest of the film but the dream of a ghost trying to figure something out and being haunted by symbols of death and the spirit's life. Just like in Mulholland Drive.
We have a worm. or is it a slug, as in a bullet? (that in one scene dives into a hole and comes out of another one, only to slide into another hole and in and out...like the magic bullet?)
Lights blowing out.
A bleeding tree? A family tree, bleeding? On a hill? A grassy knoll? (grass? that would explain all the weird dirty grass that sits about in certain sections of the film)
The fat faced blonde on stage? Marylin Monroe? Happy birthday, dear president. Accompanied by obvious sexual imagery.
The picture of a nuclear explosion on Henry's wall? A sure nightmare for any president. Especially considering the Cuban Missile Crisis that brought them closer to nuclear war than at any time since.
The suit Henry wears. A printer? Does this refer to the Federal Reserve? Printing money?
Could be coincidence, could be intentional could be subconscious (i'm hedgeing my bets so I don't come off like a complete whack job
).Take another look at this film that was written and conceived at a time not long after old Jack (Jack Nance is an apt name here) Kennedy had his skull blown out.
Take another look and see if you can find more crossovers...
...or should that be crossFIRES?
