Movies

From what I remember it is more or less normal but of course by the end of the movie there is nothing normal about Dr. Leo.

oh yeah....Bob funk is a very gud entertainment...a rib tickling comedy !!

you can watch Bob Funk movie.... have a great time !!

Okay, okay, now , just stick with me on this, and if you liked this movie as much as I did, read this and then watch it again...

The fifth time I watched this movie, I finally noticed something. When Leo is standing in front of the fireplace, asking his family for their opinion on his staging for his upcoming TV interview, his daughter Anna says something that should have hit me over the head like a falling anvil the first time I saw it. After saying she prefers the gun because its a sign of virility, she says she has to get going because she is going sailing on her friend George Stark's boat. So, here goes -

1) George Stark is a charachter in a Stephen King story about a writer who's pseudonym or pen name is George Stark. One day, his pen name comes to life as the evil side of the writer, and has to kill the writer so that he can live. So, at first, I thought that this line was just a clever allusion to the fact that both Bob and Leo are battling their own psyche. But then I thought it might be deeper than that, and maybe Bob and Leo represent the two sides to one man, both battling for control. Now, I guess I mean this figuratively, and not literally, as other charachters in the movie see and interact with Bob independently, but the clues are compelling, if you'll indulge me and read further...

2) In the aforementioned scene, when Leo is trying to decide how to stage his interview in front of the fireplace, he offers two choices - one with a gun on the wall, and one with a bust of Freud on the mantle - Duality : hunter vs. intellectual

3) Leo is on vacation - Bob catches up and is on vacation too - they are inseperable

4) Leo is trying to help Siggy learn to dive by holding on to his shirt and letting him hand over the edge of the dock - he is supplanted by Bob - and when Leo comes running out onto the dock, he pushes Bob off - they cannot occupy the same space at the same time

5) At the dinner table, Bob and Leo want the same (their) piece of chicken - Leo asks to be called Dr. Marvin here and Leo in his office (duality)-NOTE: when Leo says this, there is a beautiful camera shot of him where his face is half in and half out of the light (The title of that Stephen King story is The Dark Half) - eventually, Leo almost chokes to death, but Bob saves his life - symbolizing that if Leo dies, Bob would die

6) Leo can't find his toothbrush - Bob is using his (their) toothbrush

7) Bob spends the night, sleeping in Leo's (their) pajamas

8) Leo cannot wake Bob up in the morning, nor make Bob go away - he has no control over this side of his psyche

9)When Leo comes home to his surprise party, his face is now totaly in the dark, and he is looking through the glass at the others (symbolic of his seperation from reality and/or friends and family) and when he sees his sister and is elated (shouting LILY!) his fun side Bob springs back into the picture putting his arm around his (their) sister

10) Leo leaves Bob tied up in the forest with the explosives around his neck, but finds Bob (himself) back at the house (because they are inseperable as the same person) and when he asks Bob what he did with the explosives, Bob says that he (Bob/Leo) left them in the house. Leo may have destroyed the house as a last desparate attempt to destroy this fun, vacationing side of himself that he cannot reconcile with his professional side.

Anyways, I wouldn't mind hearing what you think about it, even if you wanna tell me its a pile of rubbish. It won't matter, the movie is still hilarious. I find it funnier everytime I watch it.
