“There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: Music and Cats”
An editorial I was moved to write on this wonderful film. Enjoy!

Great review, thanks for sharing!
I'd quote quite a lot of what you wrote saying I felt the same, but heh, I'd end up pasting here more than half of your text.
Yes, this is a film that makes you think, and yes, it's wonderful to read how diverse people's interpretation are about each undercurrent you can find.
And I didn't know about the expression "saving the cat" and now that I do I'm sure that the Coens did it on purpose (among so many other purposes, of course). Just another layer for the interpretation of the cat methaphor!
Thank you so much for the compliment! You made my day.
I'm also happy that you learned something new from something I wrote. I think there's even a screen writing book on Amazon called "Save the Cat". Clearly, there's a lot of meaning with Ulysses/
I just realized I could have used Ripley in Alien as an example. I also wished I wrote a little something about Please, Mr. Kennedy. Poe Dameron and Kylo Rynn from the Force Awakens are singing side by side about not wanting to go into Outer Space. XD
Thanks again!
