| Jess: |
so explain boxing is a metaphor to me
|
| Jess: |
i can't watch the video
|
| Megan: |
ok, well
|
| Megan: |
the video really . . .
|
| Megan: |
IN THE SCENE boxing is a metaphor
|
| Megan: |
it intercuts shots of this one actor having some type of discussion with guys in suits
|
| Megan: |
with him in a boxing ring with this OTHER guy
|
| Megan: |
and the guys in suits are gettin' down on him, all 'do you understand you're NOT allowed to do X, Y, and Z?' and in the intercuts he's all beaten down and bloody
|
| Megan: |
and then he has a little speech about how, of course, he understands, blah blah blah. and in the intercuts he GETS UP! and BEATS THE DUDE DOWN!
|
| Megan: |
it's like - dude. boxing? is a metaphor. in case you didn't get the undercurrents in the conversation.
|
| Jess: |
so, basically, it's boxing is a REALLY OBVIOUS metaphor |
