I love it when the story is open ended and we can see in it what we want. Consistency is more linked to causality. Godard threw that out the window and that is a large part of why I dislike his movies. I know I am a bit obsessive with these things but internal consistency is a major criteria for me when evaluating a movie.

But I like a good unsolved mystery, some things in life are hidden or unexplained.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-73902992819721299662019-09-29T11:29:09.894+03:002019-09-29T11:29:09.894+03:00I love 2001: a space odyssey too, but I cannot hel...I love 2001: a space odyssey too, but I cannot help thinking there is something unsatisfying when internal consistency is lost. Even a crazy story like Twin Peaks had internal consistency even if it got strained.

For me a dream-like film about insomnia and the horror of social interactions for an introvert. But the beauty of the story is could mean something different the next time I watch. The madness interpretation you mention is plausible too. I love ambiguity (remember I love Kubrick's 2001) so I was bewitched.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
