The best quote in the film - why was it missing all these years?
The quote that impressed me most in the film was this one:
"
When you think about it,
it's not easy to keep from just wandering out of life. It's like someone's always leaving the door open to the next world,
and if you aren't paying attention you could just walk through it,
and then you've died.
That's why in your dreams it's like you're standing in that doorway...
and the dying people and the newborn people pass by you... and brush up against you as they come in and out of the world during the night.
You get spun around, and in the morning... it takes a while to find your way back into the world.
"
I'm not saying that I agree, or that it's a wonderful philosophical point. However, it's evocative and nicely poetic. Interestingly so.
I just wonder how, and why, nobody has bothered to add it as a quote - anywhere - not just on imdb.
My wife suggests that it's too close to the bone; to evocative of death and our closeness to it.
I wonder.
Any suggestions?
