Dave is so clever. I wish I was like him.

Like Mike explored the human condition to explore passion, obsession, fear, weakness, and madness.

Rain Man explored the human condition to explore passion, obsession, fear, weakness, and madness.

What about Kangaroo Jack?

What'd that explore?

It's really not. It parallels the sort of limited aspects of the Swan Lake story repeated throughout the film, but there's no villain character, no mistaken identity, and the prince doesn't die at the end. The parallels are actually not that strong, but the way they tell it in the movie intentionally begs you to make a connection.

That's kind of what I was getting at. It's a really, really loose allusion to swan lake - "oh look, there's ballet and a black swan and a white swan!" but the similarities kind of end there.

A perfect 1:1 reflection of the ballet would have been trite. It's best that the ties have some slack in them.

It wasn't a criticism of the film, just the assertion "Hey, you know this is just the Swan Lake story, right?"

Just came back from this and was blown away. Best movie I've seen in years imo. I'm not going to ruin it by reading what you faggots wrote. Especially buttcheeks, phd.
