i just caught this flick earlier and ive read the comic and im not sure but i think the bus stop thing was a metaphor for people committing suicide, anyone else seen this and think the same?, cus im not a morbid guy and so thats not were my thoughts normally go to first but both the protagonist and that old dude had no bags and were just "leaving town" for a bus that stopped arriving years ago but an older looking bus does pull up for each of them when there "ready to leave".

If anyone else has seen that, am i reading to much into this?, this is gonna bug me all day.

I've not seen it, but that sounds like a suicide metaphor to me.

No Hellz, I thought exactly the same thing but forgot about it until you just mentioned it now. I really liked the film btw.

I understood it as a metaphore for death, but not suicide neccissarily. I'll have to rewatch it and see what I catch this time.
