Question


The scene where Bob sleep with the blonde girl, is that really Donna disguised (possibly a facial adaption of a scramble suit) or was he hallucinating? Even in the scanner recordings, he sees the same thing.








Ps. Does anyone know the song that's playing during the credits?

reply

The song is 'Black Swan' by Thom Yorke, from his album 'The Eraser.' Great tune, great album. And this song fits the film so well, it marries perfectly. Top music choices by Linklater in this film, works a treat.

This is discussed in the FAQ at length. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/faq#.2.1.4 There are at least three possible answers to the question, and each has its supporters. Personally, I'm in favor of the first answer given -- that the girl was Connie and Arctor was having a "Substance D moment" where he "cross-chattered" one person in place of another, but you're welcome to pick which answer you like.

Thanks.


Also, Did Arctor actually have a wife&kids, he brings this up a few times in the movie, but at the end while his telling supervisor,"hank" says "no, you don't." Did Arctor hallucinate this as well due to substance D (maybe he doesn't really know who he is)? Or maybe his drugged crazed-mind self-induced this story and he embellished it to make himself feel better.
