Why is the kid holding the pistol at Adrien Brody?


if you look at the 25:15 mark, when Adrien Brody's character is praying at the temple there is an Indian kid holding a pistol at him.

I never noticed that before.

what the hell is that about? it's really easy to miss, you have to watch closely...

I just saw it - that is weird... its not so much as the kid aimiming but just holding it casually. Still dont get it though...

I don't know. Apparently, Wes Anderson didn't close off the streets, so whatever was in the background was in the background. creepy

black and white movies were better

my guess would be that the kid with the gun symbolises what Brody feels is the murder of his current life by his newly arriving first child. As they say when you have children your life ends and you become a servant to your childrens lives.
thanks for pointing this wee scene out, I missed it too! :)
