Ruthlesslysentimental had many eccentricities, but he was an amazing Brokologist. His posts were like a Fitzgerald scholar deconstructing Gatsby.
Of course, the rest of us are pretty brilliant Brokologists, too! The best thing about analyzing this movie was how it was such a group effort. People spent literally years breaking down scenes, studying details, throwing together ideas, and it all gradually formed a complex collective understanding of so many aspects and levels: the metaphors and symbolism in everything from clothing to sets to landscape, the subtle dialogue that means far more than the words usually say, the an inkblot- or mirror-shaped structure, the religious and cultural subtexts, and so on. What an experience!
