The dog


Can anyone explain to me the meaning of the dog in the film?
Is there any metaphor that I should be aware?

*It is wet and was shaking for water two times
*Came unexpected
*It seems nobody else noticed the dog, except for the young woman (aka Lucy)

By the end of this movie I was more concerned of the talking animated pig and had forgotten about the dog. Yeah, I don’t know what that meant. This movie was a trip!

I think the dog is dead. There is an urn in Jake’s bedroom labeled Jimmy. I assumed it was the dog although I still don’t get the physics portion of this movie.

I did some reading and apparently it's based on a book where Jimmy commits suicide and the entire movie is him looking back on this life as he's dying.

That doesn't answer anything about the dog, but tbh, I don't see much of anything meaning much of anything in this movie. It was all a suicidal fever dream.

reply

I didn’t read the book but I got that the man was dying and thinking over regrets. I didn’t think it was suicide though.

reply

i guess that was implied, huh?

reply

I didn't get an implication of depression.

The dog commits suicide?
