Birdcage, preparing people to go through life blindfolded, because the truth is so bad it will kill you. And the only people who won’t die from the truth are the crazy ones.
I like to look at what the moral of the storie is, seems like in the case of Birdcage it’s that it’s better to not know-see what’s going on in the world and live comfortably, than to look at the truth.
Better question is, why is the carpet red?
