Re: Deep movies that seem shallow on the surface.
I think Shakes the Clown is a deep existential film. The whole clowns vs. mimes thing is about being "thrown" in the world and authentic and inauthentic ways of responding to that.
My friends have thought I was nuts the couple of times that I've talked about this. No, I don't think this about many movies at all. I'm convinced it's true about this one, though.
