A lot of films can be very ambiguous and confusing to some people, often leaving the viewer needing to read up on the film or see other peoples interpretation of it to help understand it better. This is the place to be to post your view of a specific film or see others and help you understand it better.

RULES:

1. This is NOT r/FanTheories. Do not post crazy speculations or theories that you personally think to be true and no one else does.

2. Please check that the film you are requesting has not been previously discussed before you post.

3. If you are posting a self post with your own interpretation, please go in-depth and explain it fully so others can easily understand it.

4. If you are posting a video, please make sure the video is extremely detailed and covers it fully.

5. If you are posting an image, please make sure its a fairly large image that's easy to read and again, covers it fully.

6. Please make sure to add flair to all posts when submitting as to easily distinguish between different types of posts.
