In a first, it is clear for me, it is not a fantastic movie. If you follow this line, you'll face many problem explaining some scenes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
My hypothesis is the movie describe the Fred's representation of reality.
|
||
|
Each of his tries to escape reality will fail.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fred had commited an horrible act, a murder, and try to *repair* his memory to accepts it. He'll then create alternative realities.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
- In a first time he kills his wife (Renee) because he believes she cheated at him.
|
||
|
- In the second part, he's weaker and will be manipulated by the blond equivalent of Renee to kill Dick Laurent.
|
||
|
- In a third part, he kills Dick Laurent
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Why this interpretation can be valid?
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Because of the dialog at the begining of the movie. Cops ask Fred if he's own a video camera:
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
> - – Do you own a video camera?
|
||
|
> - – No, Fred hates them.
|
||
|
> - – I like to remember things my own way.
|
||
|
> - – What do you mean by that?
|
||
|
> - – How I remember them, not necessarily the way they happened.
|
||
|
|

|
!!fr!!
|
||
|
Ce que l'on peut traduire approximativement par :
|
||
|
|
||
|
> - – Avez-vous une caméra ?
|
||
|
> - – Non, Fred les détestes.
|
||
|
> - – J'aime me rappeler les choses à ma façon.
|
||
|
> - – Qu'entendez-vous par là ?
|
||
|
> - – Je me rapelle des choses pas nécessairement comme elles se sont passées.
|
||
|
|
||
|
!!!!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then, what we see is not reality but the Fred's perception. Fred is the God of the reality we see. This is why some God/Devil interpretation of the movie works not so bad.
