man, whutchotalkinbout talking bout?

i am not attempting to like the movie. what i am trying to do is figure out what the sum of all the sybolism/metaphor/innuendo was.

what was the purpose of the movie? who was the worm? what was the significance of the number 82? why not 73 or 44 or something? what, besides 82, ties these people in these stories together? were these things put in the movie simply to distract the viewer from the actual story? what did the opening scene and closing scene, other than highlighting the possibility that there are some things in life that are more than mere coincidence, have to do with the rest of the film? is that it?

whether i like the answer to these questions and other questions is irrelevant. i wanna know what the answer is period.

now i ain't saying that i would not be a little pissed if 3hrs of sitting and thinking about this movie only added up to this: the common thread in each of these people's lives is the number 82, but at least the book would be closed on the subject.

i am the kind of person who does not simply absorb something at face value and leave it at that. i'll leave that to the Germans. i would rather pick it apart, dissect and study it one peice at a time, then put it all together again until i can understand it.

lemme ask you this. did you understand everything in the movie? can you (as they say in grade schools all over the USA) give me your take on the main idea of it? now i know that it could mean one thing to you and another to someone else, but since you claim to have gotten it,
tell me what you thought "it" was.
