Lol- it doesn't displease me- I thought the whole movie was a dream already. I just was racking my brains to figure out the 'whodunit' aspect, and had something of a answer that worked for me. Then I read Audra's link, and that made a whole lot more sense. I suppose it irritated me in that most people, as movie-making outsiders, would not come to that conclusion and would be left twisting in the wind so to speak. Still, after thinking about it, I decided I liked the movie after all. A few things- I mentioned the mobius strip state of this movie, and then I got to thinking- I'm not trained musically, but would the two notes played from the Piaf song be considered a dyad? From Wiki:The Möbius strip is the configuration space of two unordered points on a circle. Consequently, in music theory, the space of all two note chords, known as dyads, takes the shape of a Möbius strip; this and generalizations to more points is a significant application of orbifolds to music theory. Also, it may have already been stated here, but the actress who played Mal is also the actress who played Piaf in the biography 'La Vie en Rose'.
