I thought there were alot of different themes being represented, but the most prominent was definatly the fear of fatherhood. The "baby" being the most obvious symbol to this cause.

Very interesting. It all makes sense, too.

Good site, I enjoyed reading it. Definatly had a different view on things than I did, though I agreed with quite a bit...not everything, but I like how they saw the "baby". Wasnt how I saw it, but I like their reasoning.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really like the whole idea of the "sin worms".

And the bit about embracing death being the embracing of the radiator woman.

Did you take that differently? Personally, I thought that part was made fairly obvious by her song...In Heaven, everything is fine...

I didn't take it any way at all. I went into this movie knowing nothing, and came out confused as hell.
