In a buddhist sutra, Sakyamuni, criticized the compulsive mental masturbators and referred to them as people "counting ganges sands." Can it really compete with Rupert?

ANSWERS: 4. But it isn't clear at all, and nobody in the film refers to the eventsat Somerton as a 'party.' In one of the final scenes, Bill comes home and as he comes to bed he sees Alice (Nicole Kidman) sleeping next to the same Venetian mask he wore at the party.

I am normally the last guy in theworld to criticize somebody for using big words, but, besides that you'renot bothering, even, to use them correctly, the way that you are using themserves to obfuscate rather than clarify your meaning. >Even in the morgue he still might not have been positive, but he replays >her voice in his head while looking over the body. > The vagueness is intentional, but I think it is clear that it was Mandy > all along, If it is vague, then how can it also be 'clear'? >Even in the morgue he still might not have> been positive, but he replays her voice in his head while looking over the> body.

Is that how youwould describe it? What a joke to call them "philosophers." It is only when Ziegler respondspositively to Bill's question, "The woman at the party is the woman inthe morgue?" > But it isn't clear at all, and nobody in the film refers to the events> at Somerton as a 'party.'<<<<<<<. The film revolves around the tension between these twophenomena; it is about this tension): 1. desiring Amanda Curran to bethe Mandy from Ziegler's party would confirm his guilt - in hisprofessional capacity as a doctor attending a patient in need - aboutleaving her fate in the hands of Ziegler, serving power rather thanmorality or medical ethics, a guilt he now seeks to redress byimmediately going to visit Amanda/Mandy at the hospital to try andredeem himself; and 2. desiring Amanda to be the masked woman, a womanwho seemingly redeems Bill's Somerton-crashing guilt for him via theSomerton 'charade.'. S he was the same woman who overdosed at Victor Ziegler's party earlier in the movie. Indeed, he appearsthoroughly confused: later with Ziegler in the poolroom, he asks, "thewoman at the party is the woman lying dead in the morgue." In the spur of the moment people might first recognize voices, subliminally. The point, however, is that even if all three female'characters' are the same woman (and so, effectively, the samecharacter), this serves to set up even more contradictions, not tomention buying in to Ziegler's warped, patriarchal world.

In fact, the only actual dream in the film is unseen, is onlylater described - namely, Alice's dream/nightmare about having sexwith numerous men (strikingly similar to the fate of the women atSomerton) in which Bill is openly humiliated, and told to Bill justafer he returns from Somerton. > First of all, Mandy must have felt some connection with Bill since he was > showing her concern and kindness in the Bathroom. >>>>>>>>>>That would not be valuable or insightful speculation, but a totaldenial of most of what happens in the film (another variation of 'it'sall just a dream', everything being attributable to the delusions ofBill's mind, a denial of the world of social power, similar to sayingthat everything that happens to Jack Torrance in The Shining is all'in his mind'). >on the balcony looking down at Bill, knows that it is him and nodded to >him.
