You all probably won't watch these movies
more than once so I'll point out some things that people
probably won't catch after one viewing. These things are
important to the story and they're kind of hidden.
The story is about a husband and a wife who have a fight
and the next day the husband learns that life's too short
to be mad at someone you love. The main idea is that your
life can change in five minutes. Time is illustrated throughout
the movie: keep an eye on the clocks. Five minute intervals
occur quite a bit.
To explain what happens to the husband at the end of the
movie, he actually had a revelation. This is pointed out
in the office, where his coworker quotes Revelations 1:3
from the Bible in order to point out that the husband is
late for work.
"Something funny" is handled by the husband actually
seeing the words "something funny" in the newspaper
at the breakfast table.
The discovery happens twice. First he discovers his wife's
dead body. The real discovery is actually where he learns
through his revelation that life's too short to hold grudges.
"Lead character goes back to sleep" is handled
metaphorically. You see him wake up at the beginning of
the movie, but technically, he slips back into a subconscious
state during his whole revelation, which is when he goes
"back to sleep". |
