You know Mother in FMJ is the trainee in first part of the film (can´t remember the name).
He shoots himself, but actually it´s about being reborn. He kills his old self and is reborn as a crasy soldier.
Kinda cool film twist when you think about it.
You´re probably right, but it´s a work of fiction regardless of some characters being made from real people or not.
Interesting. I´ll look into it.
Maybe this trainee to animal mother theory is wrong… but it´s still cool. Very Kubricky.
I also heard in space odeyssy the monolith represents the film screen itself. Lots of 90 degrees references (like sun rising over the planets), and the guy at the end is realizing this. The scene where he´s old in bed raising his arm to touch the monolith is the only scene where cam pov is outside the room, for example.
Kubricky stuff is interesting.
Bowie wanted someone to put on their red shoes and dance the blues.
He was in the cult. Look up the rest of lyrics. Sick.
