Whoa! What a fucking head bender of a movie this was. It sucks you in right from the beginning and just gets more intense as it goes a long.

It does leave a lot of questions unanswered but it sure is worth the ride!

        Are you being facetious? A floating gun over is a symbol for drug abuse?

          No, and they’ve been pretty explicit about this in every interview about it.

          The sudden personality changes, the “monster” that takes over your psyche. Multiple characters also have addictions, some illegal, some socially acceptable.

          Edit: sorry, early morning misread. The film was about substance abuse, Archer’s dream about the floating gun specifically had 2:17 which was when the kids were weaponised. It’s a dream couched in crazy dream logic about events.

      The symbolism is the studio saying they dont want a school shooting allegory, or at least dont want it driven home so hard.
