People who don’t understand subtext don’t realize this film is about a tapeworm
>>221401707How is about a tapeworm?Also why is my ass itchy at night
>>221402235Its a story about a guilty and dirty creature slowly escaping a body so sick that even a parasite can’t survive, through the anus, by loosening its anal retentiveness over a process of years, as it finds itself redeemed in the fact that even as a parasite it made that sick body better for having been there. I mean let’s just take Warden Norton as the ‘head’ of this body. Fact is, this long-overdue anal leakage is so catastrophic (i mean there’s a breach through his entire fucking ass, and the only thing you can do it fill it) so the guy fucking kills himself, terminates operation, because fuck he just thought he was just sooo smart and clever enough that he could get away with being the man in charge of shit-pushing without experiencing a catastrophic bowel failure! A worm crawled out of his ass and got away! Pay attention guys
>andy burrows a hole in his wall>it goes down into the sewers and turds>this a metaphor for his anus being burrowed out by the sisters
>>221402954Andy being raped is a literalization of the homosexual head trying to systematically push his own shit in so as to avoid an obvious and well-earned anal leakage. Shit goes IN the wardens’ ass, get it? The moment even one thing comes OUT besides pure shit, you’re fucking done. Your ass is gaped. Might as well kill yourself because being a homosexual rapist is fucking over now, your life is over, you can’t grip shit, you can only be pushed in
Red is a red blood cell, by the way, that’s what Tapeworm Andy gets out of this internment as a ‘parasite’. He’s actually best friends with the blood, and he comes out full and healed
>>221403002This is a schizo post, but it's the kind of schizo post I enjoy. Have an upvote.
>>221403083And one day, even the blood leaves the body and the two meet again ON ANOTHER VESSEL. GET IT?! And Andy is not redeemed despite being a parasite, he is redeemed BY being a parasite. He did his job and ate the poison from within, and succeeded in escaping this entire septic system in a way that made the delusional head confront his own sickness! Here lies a stupid vulgar greedy shit-pusher who thought he owned his own ass! this is actually how stories are written, by the way
>>221403135I see what you mean. It's starting to make sense now.
>>221403083And you know drug-addled surrealist Stephen King wrote the book and wrote it to heavily include rape, right?
>>221403179Almost everyone on /tv/ is a drug-addled surrealist.
>>221403414Point being is there’s no way King wrote this without writing a tapeworm-host dynamic directly and probably as its core inspiration
>>221403518Well I agree with you on that. There's a kind of anal/tapeworm subtext, and it becomes clear when Andy crawls up his secret turd-tunnel.
>>221403604Puts a funny finger on Warden as a closeted homosexual who has so poorly mismanaged his colon
