Oh I get it! (SPOILERS)

Saw the movie in Cambridge last night. It is very much an art film. Don't go if you expect any form of narrative. But if you are a Jarmusch fan, you probably expect that. I give it a 3/5 as I'm not much for art films. It was nicely shot and acted, and lasted about 2 hours.

An outside force can control almost everything, but it can't control the imagination. The hit man represented us, watching, working, listening. Bill Murray's character signified the controller, dictating what is real. The hit man imagined him dead, and so he was. He used his imagination to get in, and that was the only way to get inside the compound. The Murray character couldn't stop it, and couldn't control it. You can't control what goes on inside people's heads.
