SoaP can be seen as a reworking of both Truffaut’s own Le reptile dans l’avion, in which one single snake, a metaphoric bringer of existential doubt and ennui, disrupts the emotional equilibrium of the estranged couple journeying together to the wedding of their only son -- here, it’s the famous rapper whose cool is blown by the appearance of the snakes -- and Fellini’s Confusione sullo serpentes su treno, his lavishly over-the-top surrealist comedy about slithering reptiles harassing a traveling clown revue; the mad dash among the passengers to escape the snakes by climbing to the first-class deck is a play on Fellini’s famous “pile of jesters” scene.
What was the best part of Snakes on a Plane?
Mine was either:
1. the snakes biting the couple in the bathroom, or
2. the Red Bull in the Ziploc
That's my only spoiler for Snakes on a Plane, a film that delivered on all the hype and SO MUCH MORE. Go this weekend so the crowd's still rowdy. My friend Eran says it's REALLY great if you drink beforehand. I say it's great to drink after.
WHY NOT TRY DRINKING DURING.
