EWS was a very good movie and had many, many things to say about
relationships.  But on the occult end of things, there are many posed
questions:


'Over the rainbow'

Cruise is invited to go 'otr' by the two girl in the beginning.  This is the
costume shop's sign.  Connection?  Does the costume shop provide all
outfits?


Mask

How did the mask get on the bed?  Did Kidman find it, was it placed?


Navy Officer

It would seem that Kidman did indeed fuck the navy officer after all. . . .


Password

What was the password's significance?  I have to research that.


Nightengale

Significance of name besides that of the fact that he 'sung' to Cruise?
Historical, it sounds familiar but I'm not quite sure where I've heard it
before. . . .Also, he is called away at the beginning party scene by a non
band member.  Why?  He had been in on the orgies for some time now, they
weren't just telling him then.


Quiet

What does the girl [prostitute?] in the costume shop whisper to Cruise?
Something about a closet or a cloak?


Costume shop parlor tricks

What was the deal with the Asian men?  What was Milich's [significance of
name?] m.o. to be so infuriated and then strike a deal?  Because the girl
was not sharing her profits with him perhaps?  In addition, why was the
original owner said to be 'out of town in CHicago?'


Red cloak

Who was he?  The Hungarian perhaps?  Who were his assistants, the only ones
with matching masks!


HIV+

Was Domino's character's only reason for contracting HIV so that Cruise
would not end up fucking her towards the end?  Significance?  He seemed to
be calling all around to get some information or action or both.


Dresses

Why were some in standard dresses at the orgy?


Woman whose father died

What was her significance?  Her math professor fiance?  Was it only to
reinforce Cruise's power over women?  Or to get him out of the house?


Domino

She had masks on the wall and a sociology book on the bookshelf. . . .hmmm


Victor

He was the one with the half mask or whatever.  Was that his wife with him?
It was a female mask....not a question, butI but say Pollock was INCREDIBLE.
Also, what ball did he pick up of the pool table?


Newspaper

Did anyone get to read most of the article, it said something of Mandy's
sister saying it must be an accident.  And that thankful to be alive part
was great.




There's much more, but I'm tired and I need to view it again. . . .
