oh i understand it now, its just my bitter ego.
i fancy myself good at guessing where movies are going/picking up themes, symbolism n such, but this one i only knew i was missing something important. had smoke coming out of my ears and looked it up.
the specific explanation of before/after she looks in the box made everything click, made me feel dumb for not getting it, and respect the movie a ton
Oh yeah I get what you mean. I was rewatching Decision to Leave which is a movie I've ranted about on here before (always about how much I love it) but only yesterday realized that the whole motifs of the movie (the mountain and the sea) were referring to the Confucius proverb one of the character states halfway through the movie. Felt pretty bad that I hadn't got it until now, but made me like it even more.
