Well, we all have our opinions and different interpretations.....
I though Eraserhead was mindboggling incredible. I thought that 
except for two points it would have been a perfect movie.
If symbolism is your thing, which it is mine, the movie was a veritable
plethora. I had a lengthy discussion with a movie and film major
and he seemed to think that it was more or less an anti-abortion
message. I could see little to support this.

the two points? 
	1) when his girl friend got a little over hysterical
	   before dinner.
	2) when John seemed to at ease sliding into the liquid
	   bed with his neighbor.

Well what do you think????
