Lmao. Thanks for that visual.
@ ColumboKate
I was curious about this as well. When the blue paint was on her she look like she had all three colors of the French flag on her. She was wearing red. Her hair looked whitish-blond. And she had blue paint on her face. I wonder whether the movie was trying to make any political statement. I don't know much about France, so the message was lost on me. These are just my thoughts.
@ bond998
ROFL! Is that a question or a statement? LMAO.
I saw that 22 was going to end up somewhere in Pakistan or northern India. I see her becoming a boddhisatva (a spiritual guru). She demonstrated throughout the film that she has the heart for it. If your heart is in the right place, it doesn't matter if you end up in a shit-hole country. You're going to inspire millions with your energy/ presence no matter where on the globe you are.
@ ExTechOp
Ah... that makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out to me. =)
@ KillMangy66
Yea, I saw the resemblance to Sandra Bullock as well. :-)

God/ Jesus Christ = Iris
Lofthouse found God. A relationship with God was missing from his life, and that is what he found in his solitude. Adult Iris never knew him. The dude was too busy pursuing his scientific interests and never took his relationship with Iris' mom and Iris seriously. He was emotionally and physically-distant - a bad father.
The young girl Iris stood for the innocence or better part of his nature. She represented his connection with his true self. Young Iris ended up saving him from the bore that his life had become.
Lofthouse was connected to his work, and not God. At the end of the movie, we see that he made it to Lake Haven (read: Heaven).
So many metaphors in this movie...
Anyways, hope I helped clarify things.
@bobbydallas
Yea, was going to say the same thing... You beat me to it.
@ hownos
I don't know where Neil went. But if you check out my post, you will get clarity on other things, hopefully. Cheers.
@ Moviebuff1
Jax Teller takes my breath away. =)
She's one of my favourites. She gave a great performance in "Earthquake Bird" - available on Netflix.
@ muffleface
This struck me as funny when I finally thought of it, after wracking my head over what motive the killer had for haunting and destroying people's lives the way he did.
Then it finally struck me that RV stands for "recreational vehicle". Think of the vehicle as having a human being's qualities/ persona. The RV had an animated spirit that made the killer do things for recreational purposes. That is, for killing time and having fun. It was being a mischievous spirit all along.
It's as simple as that. It was in the RV's nature to muck about and get a sick pleasure about it. Nothing more and nothing less.
Hope my reply helped clarify things for you.
I enjoyed it a lot. Gives you a lot to think about regarding the nature of suburban life. It has no easy answers, and everything does not get tied up in into a nice bow at the end. Good thing is, if you are interested in explanations of the movie, there are quite a few on Youtube.
Go for it, I say. =) Cheers.
Haven't finished watching the movie but I think that they are brother and sister metaphorically and not literally.
He had a very acute sense of smell. He smelled that something was off. Remember the way he was sniffing her shoes, like a hound? Yea... He knew what she had done.
@davebuffalo
Thanks for your post. It all makes sense now. =)
@ captainbucky
I think that the bed and breakfast owner dude was spying on them... The guy with the mangled ear.
Plus, their victims seemed to all be very young (under 30, at least).
Thanks for the explanation, indytechguy. Cheers.
Hi olioz, did the drug lord leave an inheritance for Mario even though he was being mistreated and abused by him? Thanks for your time. Cheers.
@ Ladronmc
Agree with you wholeheartedly. This movie was a write-off. I would ask what the hell was going on, but I'm beyond caring at this point.
Hi evilbunnee,
Thanks for the reply to my post and thanks for reading through the whole thing.
RE: Mary. As I mentioned in my post, my husband gave me a lot of clues as to what was going on in the movie. He was the one who said that if he were running a bar and someone was wandering around it in the buff, he would take action and stop them, for their safety and well-being. Tbh, this was a REALLY strange scene, and I don't know what the director meant by including it in the film. So your interpretation is something to ponder as well. Mary is surely a symbol for something larger, as are the other characters in the film.
So much about the movie was surreal... it had logic, but the logic of a dream. Very intriguing and I'd like to see more from this director.
Going to watch the Foundflix video right now. =) Thanks for the link.
Have yourself a pleasant day.
