Turn it up... right at the start, there's a quick voice, which sounds like it could be backwards. Any idea what it is?

From a symbolic level, luvisamyth, fascinating. In British Folklore, the appearance of the nocturnal BLACK DOG is believed to be very dangerous and a portent of death. Carl Jung observed the HORSE to represent the intuitive aspect of human nature. The WELL is a symbol of the soul and an attribute of things feminine. The act of drawing water out of a well is symbolic of drawing out and upwards the contents of the deep. All of these aspects relate to the journey of Betty/Diane's character.

The first time you watch it, you sorta wonder why this scene is eerie... then when you watch it again, you realize that you overlooked the fact that the people are dancing sort of hurrily and forced, and none of them are smiling (since they're contestants). It greatly contrasts with Diane's beaming smile at the end of the scene. Brilliant.

This scene represents the Jitterbug contest that
Diane won and lead her to having minor acting parts in Hollywood movies. We see the two smiling old people here too because the representation of the contest is very dreamlike and so the old people are falsly happy.

There's something so hypnotic, humorous and deeply sinister about this little "scene" that makes me want to keep watching it over and over again. Such a fantastic film. |
