I have to admit that, for me, this makes no sense whatsoever.dud wrote:new random thought:
"fell a victim" = "fellow victim"?
the boy points [at bob?], as if to say 'look, he is also a victim'
sorry if this has been pointed out before
Both. It's very clearly meant to be read as "fell a," as nothing in the delivery, script, or subtitles makes it out to be anything but. What's BOB a victim of; who's the other victim in the scenario? I guess it makes the same amount of sense as reading MIKE's poem as saying "chance" instead of "chants," which is to say... Why would you refuse a simpler and more logical explanation?dud wrote:which doesn't make sense, getting fellow out of 'fell a' or what that might mean?
I thought you were saying it was one or the other; the idea that it could be both I am more amenable to. While I still do not know if there is any textual support for it, I see your reasoning.dud wrote:i'm not sure what you'd call it but i'd bet there's a word for it, it's not exactly a homonym, but there's a band that i'm really into that uses this device a lot in their song titles and lyrics, some of their song titles are 'seal eyeing' 'for reverend green' and 'lion in a coma'. now say those three things out loud and you'll notice phonetically you're pretty much saying 'sea lion' 'forever in green' and 'lying in a coma'. if you say 'fell a victim', to me, it sounds like fellow victim. that, coupled with the pointing (and the fact that he says it right after the 'fury of my own momentum line', i thought maybe he was saying that bob falls victim to the fury of his own momentum, along with his own victims (laura, maddy, teresa). it's definitely a bit of a stretch but i'm not pulling it completely out of thin airjust a thought
