This may not have anything to do with the discussion of the
playing of the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of
Poltergeist, but...  It seems interesting that there are
some symbols whose meaning are so strong, that they require
no links to the rest of the movie to have an effect on the
viewer.  Another example.  A couple of days ago I saw Jean
Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast" and (besides being stunned
by the movie, like I always am) I was fascinated by the use
of facial images.  I think the image of a face is even stronger
than that of the Star Spangled Banner.  Can anyone else think
of images that have been used in movies that work the same
way?
