It's getting too real, TOO DAMN REAL
Quick theories I found on another forum was that Spike died in Session 5: BOTFA, and another says the crew all died in Toys in the Attic, and in both instances, the rest of the show was the dream.
Rogueass' theory got more beef to it, tho. The search continues
I gotta rewatch the damned series now.
The theory is pretty damned solid.
I wanna rewatch the series now.
i usually dont entertain these wild fan theories....
but god damn
this shyt got me like
You need to take this to Cracked.com. The people must know!!!!
I just got done with the series the other day and I was wondering if there was some type of underlying plot behind it all. This reminds me tho, I need to check out that movie.
Remember this, brehs, Faye says to Spike at the end of Real Folk Blues, "So you're just going off to die, just like that?" Spike replies, "I'm not going there to die, I'm going there to see if I'm truly alive."
Dude was dead as a doorknob, brehs. He didn't want to accept it
Could you accept the fact that you were killed trying to save your girl and yourself from a life of crime? If I'm not mistaken, Julia was Vicious' girl, and Spike stole Julia from Vicious. That nikka wanted to live a life with her badly
By the way guys, you all should watch the french foreign film, "Pierrot Le Fou" by Jean Luc Godard. The same thing that happens at the end of Real Folk Blues, happens in Pierrot Le Fou (title of one of the sessions on Cowboy Bebop as well, and not by coincidence). Pierrot Le Fou is about a man who falls in love with a woman who's trafficking guns. Actually the two were already lovers and lose each other, and one day his wife hires a baby sitter, who ends up, by coincidence, to be his former lover.
Pierrot le Fou (1965) - IMDb
So the woman ends up pulling the man back into her life of crime. At the very end of the movie, the woman betrays the guy and leaves him for another man. Right before he goes to confront them on this little island, he meets some man on the water front who tells him a story of how he fell in love with his wife. He tells him that he had been trying to find love all his life, and when he finally did, it turned out that love was just a disease; and he realized how big of a fool it made him. Instead of listening to the story and heeding the lesson, the main guy gets on a boat anyway to confront his former lover. He ends up killing both the lover and the man who betrayed him. In the end he ties dynamite to his head, lights the fuse, and then just as the fuse is about to run out he changes his mind and tries to put it out, but it's too late.
At the very end we hear the two of them talking while they're in heaven.
I believe the whole series borrows from that movie.
