@MultiBelbo I see that you're interpretation of events would also work. it's great that we can revisit these classics. I've just watched "Just Another Saturday" - awesome stuff.

@sbwords , that's certainly one reading. However, there are also hints that Jody may actually be the "ghost" of Bunny's dead father, who died looking out over the hills and whose spirit seemed to the young boy to just float away. Whether it's Bunny's subconcious need for a father figure manifesting or a genuine haunting is another matter, though.

It's one of those Lefty-sympathetic TV plays in the 60s and 70s, sympathetic to uneducated but sensitive men. The men's "bond" connects to ideas about workers recognising union leaders as self-seeking TV interviewees (Jody says this earlier), and "floating" free of the elephant's graveyard (or whale's bucket) of work, women and rules which kill the imagination -- exemplified in Jody's powerful Cowboy-Indian fantasy -- and alienate man from himself and progress.

Great film - Clearly Jody is Bunny in the future or a potential future. The way that Jody is suddenly gone at the end and Bunny is left standing alone on the hill side signals this. There are furthers hints as each reveals facts about themselves and these match; no work, forced to get married by convention, fear of the wife...etc. Great Stuff

So that's him 18 years later or is it a warning that this could be him? Continuing to delude himself, wearing the same work clothes.On the other hand he seems a wise man and has come far.. He appreciates the moment and the beauty of 'mundane' things. He trys to get out of living by habit. Strange but interesting play.
