I loved this bit because it's just a weird scene and the movie makes no attempt to explain any little details. You see it and think "Ah...well, okay then!"

i love and hate but mostly love when films make you just go wow and what just happened in an unexplained way.....i love it if its a film i love....you just accept the unexplained

Yeah. I think at that point, a film starts being "real." You not only accept the unexplained things, but you begin to feel they resemble reality and all the unexplained events you see in your daily life. Life becomes a phenomenon of continuous creativity...always a new thing happening, always a new, fresh combination of elements. When a movie achieves that level, when things happen that are undefined but you don't seek an explanation, I think it's become a really good movie. The story succeeds in creating a sense of wonder.
