To start off with the monkey in the beginning of the film really made me think because at first glance it was so strange. I feel the purpose of the dead monkey in the film was to make the audience think. It was so strange it made me think because it just didn’t fit in the story at the first look unless they were going for some kind of David Lynch thing on just throwing something in the story that is weird just for the sakes of being different and strange.
