that red jeep...


anyone else notice that the cult used that bright red 80's jeep as their escort vehicle? that seemed odd to me. they have all those rolls-royces, mercedes's, and bentley's all parked nearby, but they use a decade-old suv that looks like it belongs to somebody's mom? i wonder if it has some sort of deep rooted symbolism.

Jeeps are utilitarian, they're for getting around (Bill owns a Land Rover which has the same connotation). It seems to suggest Bill's efforts are getting him somewhere/something desired, but also that he's really just fooling himself and that the cult is only giving him what they want to give him. The fact that it's red denotes power, passion, aggression. The cult seems to already know about what he's trying to pull off and are "playing along".
