Opening Statement

The original article can be found here.

The main points of the article include:

It's not knowing that makes the world feel alive. (Talking about the lack of any specific final solution to the original movie.)
A lot of questions are left unanswered including why did Edith scream, why didn't she stay with the other girls, how was Irma unhurt after days in the wilderness, why did clocks stop and so on.
When Miranda, early in the film, said she would not be there long was that a premonition of what would happen on the Rock or was she referring to the fact that she was a senior and would be graduating soon?
I really like the final sentence in the article: 'A film like Picnic at Hanging Rock, for a couple of hours, reminds me that this life of mine, with its order and stability, is just an illusion suspended within a universe that I can never understand.'
