Quicky media update
Sep. 26th, 2004 12:25 pmI'm curious about the ending... did the foghorn serve as a literary device, an acoustic strikeout of information that the characters cared about but the story didn't (since they were only talking about the McGuffin)? Or did it serve to make the ultimate outcome uncertain? I'm actually certain that it's the former case. It's an intriguing stylistic technique I don't think I've seen much (the playful name-bleeping in Kill Bill is not the same thing at all, being a very deliberate tease), but I bet it confused a lot of audience who thought it served the latter purpose. (And I could be wrong. But I don't think that I am.)
