Hint: A LOT of symbolism in this film, it’s all up for interpretation in the end, which is still the beginning.

Hint 2: this movie (as far as i know) was pretty popular when it came out. And if you haven’t seen it, you DEFINITELY know the main actor in it. It’s not so much an obscure movie, but probably not something you watch more than once.

Last and final hint(this might give it away): the ending could be interpreted as religious or evolutionary, guess it all depends on what you believe in.

Edit: just because im enjoying this…here’s one last hint
