But honestly, you have taught me something and I have studied this film extensively, so for that reason, I applaud your effortsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977115202063271919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-35648909017264298152008-02-12T11:53:00.000-05:002008-02-12T11:53:00.000-05:00Brilliant!

That's the genius of the film, that it has double, triple or quadruple meanings which only reveal themselves to those who are ready to receive the message.<BR/><BR/>Your essay also alluded to many of the dualities (yin-yang) that were present in the movie, how many parts had "bookend" starts and finishes.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the allusion to Jack's new boyfriend (Randall Malone), who was in some way connected to Jack's death. In the alternative script 31-Mar-2004, "Jack's truck pulls up to the dirt lot next to the gas station. A mechanic, tire jack in hand, fiddling with a car, takes a beer from his buddy, who sits on a tire nearby. They both watch as Randall gets out of the truck and walks to his own truck parked in the lot, waving back at Jack. The mechanic trades glances with his friend."<BR/><BR/>This scene was dropped in the final movie script, but hints at the reasons why Jack was murdered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-79480208344585141852008-02-05T11:37:00.000-05:002008-02-05T11:37:00.000-05:00Very nice essay.
