    To drive the point home even more, the production company filming Elizabeth's scene is called "Audubon Films" - the name Audubon most associated with the Audubon Society and environmental protection - or more specifically the protection of birds - which could possibly tie into the symbolism of Joe releasing the butterfly - both being associated with flight and thusly freedom

    Great video! Feels like there's still a lot to discuss about this movie, it'd be possible to make like 2 more videos about it lol!

    good video, only quibble is that you refer to December as an autumn month when its 100% a winter month

    No faux outrage, claiming the film exploits trauma, commenting on a film you haven’t watched, going on a twitter rant about melodrama vs camp. Are you sure you are a sensible video essayist? Just kidding, thanks for a wonderful review
