A man wants to die, and doesn’t want to commit suicide alone. A womans Uncle died, but she couldn’t be with him in his last moments, so she plays out that conversation with another. Society is angry with Bankers and the economy, and one is shot in front of their eyes. Society knows about the economy failing and the Beggar woman cements that feeling in their hearts.

I think there’s a lot of truth being looked at in this film, maybe even some ideas of “Be careful what you wish for” – such as the Photographer wanting to take photos of a grotesque man, and then the man does something *truly* grotesque but biting off the assistants fingers.

I can’t say for certain about stabbing Alex, but I thought it was a metaphor for how people were talking about how he should get out of the appointment business. *Can* he get out? Does he feel chained to what he does? Was he trying to leave a dead version of himself so he could escape?

Sorry for the muddled thoughts!

Thanks a bunch Judy! Really appreciate it.
