Message: <blockquote data-quote="sweetyoyofilm" data-source="post: 2176130" data-attributes="member: 517260">Hi [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER]!I was diagnosed when I was 12 years old. I've had Diabetes for 19 years now.Yes, I could see the film noir influence you're referring to. Thank you for the compliment re: Cronenberg. Definitely a director who left a lasting impression on me.Precisely, it ends where it started. Some info on the music. The first track is The Water Goblin by Antonin Dvorak and the composition was inspired by a Poem in which a young girl is brought into the underworld. The allusions to Water I'm certain T1D know, water as a warning sign that you have a high blood sugar. But also, the song is a Rondo which means the song starts in the same way it ends. It makes a cyclical journey, like the film.The final song is Golliwog's Cakewalk which was part of Claude DeBussy's Children's Corner. The "cakewalk" was the dance that suggested you had just won the cake! The scene is an allusion to the cake itself and the energy the children have resemble that of a dance. But also historically, golliwogs were dolls for children in the 19th century that are now considered very racist. So it speaks to the way time gives us perspective. Feeding children copious amounts of sugar might be considered "normal" in the 21st century, but I think it will be considered rather irresponsible in centuries to come. Oh, I could only imagine your diagnosis! Sounds a bit scary! lol Thank you for the attention you took in watching it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
