That one scene speaks a thousand words if you really think about it. We are so madly running after lurid things in our life that we choose to live with all the discomfiture it tags along. Her gates are so garish and shiny that her car lights reflect off it causing her discomfort. Her life hasn’t become a slow moving traffic yet. She is slowly coming back to her senses, to her world, as she begins to breathe normally, and just then we are shown a moving traffic once again. She is living a lavish life, our idea of gaudy livelihood and yet there is a certain sadness in her eyes. We hear an off-screen noise of her taking deep breaths as she connects with the reality of “you die naked, you should live naked”. She is the paragon of beauty, wears modish clothes and poses a contrasting image to those fat ladies.

You go down naked leaving every material thing in this world behind. Their reason for happiness stays above the soil. But none of those people get to take what they love. Some go proudly into the soil, some choose to bury their secrets along with them. It means she can’t even see into our world, or does she even want to?

One of the roads shows a suburban lane where the traffic movement is really slow. Life goes on, nay, it trundles down different lanes choosing one path or the other. Then we see an image of a bustling highway in Nocturnal Animals, implying the urban life, trying to connect the dots about how we choose to embrace that idea as time flies. Their idea of happy is breaking all the rules that we have learned to live with. Some of them are leering at you. They are happy with their body even though it’s a contrasting image of what our society has imagined for us. They seemed to have shed our very idea of shame in things we consider shameful, and they are simply enjoying it. ![]() Their flab’s dancing all around their body along with them.
