I like Howard's ideas about what Jarmusch is trying to get across.
"Reality is Arbitrary"- it is. It really is.
Bob Dylan said if God is one thing, he's arbitrary. An arbitrary Creator, who doesn't seem to be too interested in the aftermath of creation as he is in Creation itself.
The more I ruminate on it, the more I'm certain that God has only one purpose: Creating. It seems as though God places no meaning on anything except creation. The rest he leaves up to us to find out for him. God knows about his Creation through us. We "fax" him the info of our experience.
How do you explain bad things happening to good people or great things happening to bad peeps?
My naval history friend (who'll remain nameless) thinks that there was divine intervention in the winning of WWII.
I know this doesn't have much to do with Jarmusch's movie.
Just wanted to throw these sentiments up.
