Oh my godMeowbot posted:I think that is what happening is that the whole world is taken over by spiders and they never talk about it they are just like there are giant loving spiders and aliens everywhere not much we can do about it live life anyway. The whole purpose of the killing the spider was maybe that was one of the offspring and rich people go and watch them get killed kind of like "our little victory in this hideous war". These spiders have been assimilating the human race and you don't know who is who. The part where she is crying going "I think you know" they realize that people showing up with doubles is because the spiders got to them or something. I was really high when I watched it and I'm sticking to my plan. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3610231&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#post430492835 This isn't even the only one.

Man the poster who came in late in the old thread lecturing about how you westerners don't get this movie because magical realism is a Latin American thing comes off really insufferable. I'm not sure he meant to be that condescending but nonetheless...

Going with the "women are spiders" thing, it seems folks kind of take for granted that the lectures in the beginning about life under a totalitarian regime refer to women being the dictators (from the male point of view) and that makes sense until you consider how scared the bedroom-sized tarantula is of her husband/doppelganger. Coupled with the fetish-club opening scene and how the women in the film are generally mistreated and neglected, I think it makes at least as much sense that the women/ spiders are the subjects to the totalitarian rule of the fragile male psyche. This is where one of our resident CineD superstars chimes in that obviously the oppressive dictatorship is the capitalist system that fools men and women into believing the problem is each other and that there is no war but the class war you liberal troglodyte.
