Can we say it just once...please???
Dr. Otto, perhaps one of the greatest film masterpieces of all time, displays some of the finest imaagery in the pledge of allegiance scene. The wanting to say the pledge of allegiance symbolizes the need to fulfill this innermost desire to triumph in this life of mere days. When the father agrees to let them say the pledge, you notice a change in the tone of peace in characters throughout the piece. He is implying the motif of untrue reality. When this is made known, you realize the lack of concentration on Dr. Otto's behalf. The need for a seregate being is made clear ine last moments of the film. I know this because i watched the credits and i decoded the java script, and now i see the symbolism that all creations have some sense of reality in their brain wave functions.
So, i yearn you to watch again the movie and pay close attention to the syntax...enjoy!!!
