 SA:    Smith, I could see the movie more times as well,
as you said there may be more layers to this.  Yet,
what I am referring to is her wanting to remember him.
 The simplicity in remembering him, could lead into an
idealization of the man, as opposed to the sense that
all of society was caught up in an idea.  
Smith: The possibilities are endless ( almost )
Yet, what
happened was the people on the march, at the end, wore
a mask of this man.  It was this man that was changing
society, and they were marching behind this man, his
mask.  He became their leader.  
Smith: We all wear Masks. In movies there are messages and effects. Sometimes they are not
the same thing.
She said at the end,
that the man was her dad, her mother, the inspector,
herself, and so on.  This man became somebody bigger
than one person, he became many people.  Yet, if she
wants to remember this man that takes on all of these
people, and does not leave the man behind for the
idea.  If, the rest of the society would discard their
mask of him, and would realize the idea they are
caught up with, an idea that this masked man was
caught up with, too, just like everybody else, then it
is the idea, not the man, that provides something to
remember.
Smith: Indeed it IS the IDEA. Not everyone is going to get it. We live in a society now that
worships people and turn them into idols...the real worry is that the man will buy the idolization 
and lose sight of the idea or at least make it secondary to being the idol.
     
If she does remember the man, even if not to
literalize and idealize his life as a man, not the
idea without the man, then what would future
generations think about this man she allowed to be
remembered.  Will she write about this man?  Will
movies be made?  Will memorial days be set aside in
memory of this man?  How will she remember this man? 
And how will others look back at this man?

Smith: Do you think there might be a V2? ( no pun intneded )
