All Psychology Is Freudian | |
| Human Nature / int_31fa019d | comment |
All Psychology Is Freudian: Exaggerated. Nathan's therapy sessions lead his therapist to the most obvious, highly Freudian conclusions. Nathan commends the doctor's insight; the doctor is bewildered Nathan couldn't come to the same conclusions on his own. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Human Nature / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Nathan gets killed by Puff and is indefinitely trapped in some kind of purgatory. Lila takes the fall and goes to prison so that Puff can continue living freely in nature. And Puff...doesn't do that. He instead returns to civilization to elope with Gabrielle, getting away with murder and not caring about what Lila did for him at all. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Very literally averted with the final shot in the movie, which shows the two white mice trying to hitch a ride back to New York. | |

Spoof Aesop | |
| Human Nature / int_b3c0ed0c | comment |
Spoof Aesop: Puff speaks to Congress about how civilization did not improve him. Played differently, this may have been the film's actual theme. But this scene immediately followed Lila, apropos of nothing, telling him "go testify before Congress on the waywardness of man!" and senators follow the speech by declaring, vaguely "we must pass some legislation on this matter." What's more, the film's ending implies that the Aesop was broken from the very beginning... | |
