Yeah, this movie doesn't fit neatly into political or otherwise-themed. Clearly, there are a lot of ideas behind it.
Janos' optimism and love of life makes his downfall all the more tragic.
I don't think I mentioned the score in my other post, so I just wanted to say how amazing it was. What a beautiful piece of music.
In regards to the Prince, I wonder if it was always intended that the viewer doesn't see him or if they just couldn't get the puppet to look right. (I'm glad though, I think it would have been too close to Lynch if they had.)
