Some very interesting interpretations here, and that is why I think this is such a great movie - you can watch it and go deeper into it every time. I feel for the people who were put off by the violence at the beginning - as the movie goes on, the violence becomes more and more implied instead of overt, which probably symbolizes something else I haven't quite put my finger on yet, but it certainly is quite explicit at the start. Still, I think it's worth rewatching for those who couldn't stand it or even get thru it, as it is probably one of the best films I've seen in the last 25 years and I would be hard-pressed to think of any way in which could have been improved.
