I've been wondering, of late, what the film's impression on audiences would have been if it had ended with Mumble's submission into madness in the zoo. I love the film, you know. Don't get me wrong. But, it is an interesting idea to play around with. It would have been so much more like "The Plague Dogs" dark, haunting and beautiful ending.
If that scene, and the pull out to space, were the last shots of the film, it would have still been a masterpiece, but a much more haunting one. However, were that the case, as would much be the same if "The Plague Dogs" were released today, you can bet the media pundits like your Medved, your Hannity, and so on would attack the film with even more vitriol than they did when the film was originally released -
which, frankly, would have urged me even more to see it.
