I was too young to understand what was happening to me as I watched – all I knew was that there was something different about this movie, compared to everything I’d previously seen on TV – but in hindsight I was having my very first introduction to the existential. The whole thing, but the ending in particular, was so unlike anything I’d seen up until then that it left me distinctly uncomfortable. That’s what it feels like to have your young mind expanded, I guess. Yay for sf.
