I, too, got it the first run through. And though I was slightly disturbed at the ending, I loved it entirely too much. The imagery is beyond words.
Someone watching this film on drugs is just ASKING for confusion, as they would be while watching any other movie under that influence. And the saddest thing is that most of the people I know checked out the film on acid or pot the first time they saw it, and expected it to just "click" with them. Needless to say, they couldn\'t tell you what happened in the slightest...
It\'s not a "drug movie" like the Cheech & Chong films. As you so gracefully stated, the film is metaphor. It\'s purely abstract. Some people just can\'t think like that. It\'s repressed or something...
Cheers,
