[Angry and frustrated post about how I had a long response to several of you, point by point explaining the nuances and subtle clues of the dialogue and camera angles and even how the music was a character in the film which many of you obviously didn’t get, but then I had a computer crash and lost the whole thing. No way am I going to type that all up again.] ---
