Butch Lesbian: Jackie (a female bodybuilder) is in a lesbian relationship with Lou, who also comes off as butch with her mullet, tank tops, and pick-up truck. This is apparently what Lou is into, given her copy of Macho Sluts. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Love Lies Bleeding / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Jackie's size-shifting. Is it because of the performance enhancing drugs Lou gives her? Or was she born like this, repressed it, and the drugs merely brought it out? Evidence for the latter theory is that Lou gives similar drugs to other people at the gym but no one else has become a giant. Also, during a phone-call home, Jackie's relative calls her a "monster", though it's not specified what she meant. Another possibility is Jackie isn't a size-shifter at all and her size changes are just metaphors for her emotional state. This is implied during the end when both Jackie and Lou are shown as giants running away together. What happened to Lou's mom? Lou accuses her father of killing her. He says she abandoned the family because she hated him, and her daughter. We do not learn her fate. | |

Black Comedy: Several scenes of violence are darkly humorous, including the ending, where Lou drags Daisy's corpse away from the road, then stops to rummage in the dead girl's purse to steal a cigarette, all while Jackie sleeps unaware. | |

Gainax Ending | |

Gainax Ending: Played With. After Lou's father shoots her, there's a few moments where Jackie, now somehow 50 feet tall, pulls him off her and pins him down until she and Lou, who has also grown 50 feet tall, escape hand in hand. This is never explained, although the next and final scene shows Lou and Jackie in the car together, driving away, so it seems it's likely just an emotionally charged version of what actually happened. | |

Love Makes You Dumb | |
| Love Lies Bleeding / int_f7883b17 | comment |
Love Makes You Dumb: Like any good film noir, most of the bad situations in this movie could have been avoided if the protagonists weren't blinded by love. More directly, Lou calls her sister a moron when she won't stop loving JJ even after JJ put her in the hospital. | |
