's okay, not everyone has to find or look for a meaning in everything. Personally I never look for one, but if I see one by chance, then that works just as well. Don't let people give you crap if you don't see something.
Could her pouring the "red" liquid out of the bottle be symbolic of her first period maybe? This whole thing seems to have a little girl growing into a woman vibe, or am I looking too much much into that! :S
@stirringwater lol this was my other account i've been watching this movie for 2 years now wow.. how time flys by and i still don't quite get this movie but then again its what keeps me watchin it over and over
hmm, mr Oshii seems to have a fondness for military tech, especially towards the german invetions. This is especially evident in the movie beautiful dreamer, alas even here the flesh-tanks, set in the scenery of a typical european town from the 1930-1940 era, resemble a lot of the descriptions i have heard of the german tanks rolling throw occupied territory with their typical "metal shrieking" accomodating them.
This particular part randomly reminds me of the Relient K song Deathbed.
"You cried wolf, the tears they soaked your fur, the blood dripped from your fangs, you cried "what have I done?" You loved that lamb, with every sinful thought, and there you wept alone."
Great movie !!
but why wasn't it cut into YouTube size chunks at the more natural scene breaks? This way tends to interfere with the movie's natural mood

Did this movie inspire Silent Hill? and if so what is the significance of the jar and water? It seems to be the prime necessity so far.

If you support this movie, vote it up past 8.0 on IMDB. More exposure will hopefully result in an eventual Blu-Ray release.

the woman protects new life... even if she doesnt understand it
nature works through woman beyond their control
crumbling patriarchial society with its gothic like architecture seems automatic running on its own and abandoned
what meaning do you see?
