Do you think the preacher was the murderer?Pardon me for butting in, but...
No, I don't think the preacher was the murderer. I think that Penn intentionally didn't let us know who the murderer was so that we would feel the same frustration at the end that Nicholson's character feels.
I'm sure I'll be watching this movie again, just to see how it was done. Grim and depressing, yes, but I thought it had everything that made a movie great (including Benicio DelToro!).
Follow Ups:
I initially thought that the preacher was the monster(much like JN's character thought), but wasn't sure at the end.
I liked the way it was filmed. Don't think I'll be returning to the film, but it wasn't a waste of time. Whatever will Penn do next?
Ok, the reason I'll be returning to this movie again is basically to look for clues. The car that "the Wizard" was driving at the end: did we see a car like that near the preacher's house? No? Did we see a car like that anywhere? Was anyone wearing a tell-tale piece of jewelry?You know, stuff like this can be fun -- but I won't make it a priority.
