It is a metaphor for anorexia. Watch it again with that in mind. I love the film! 
My son thought it was good but I really couldn't stand the film.
A Swedish saying 'smaken är som baken, delat i mitten' dont really work translated -taste is like a bottom, split in the middle
Last Ride. An aussie movie.... Very powerful. A petty criminal runs into the desert from the police and on the way grabs his 10 year old son he doesnt really know that well. A bit of a raod movie about them surviving, hiding and getting to know each other.... and the olice are relentless as they know he has the boy with him.... the guy seems like a total lost cause.. until you see the end.... 
I read the book (its got a totally different ending from the movie but both stand alone as well written) as the author also wrote the movie script.
Nice thing about this movie? I was working for a large hospital charity when I was given free movie tickets and the book as a freebie. I couldn't attend the movie and was about to put them up on the internal email board when a couple came in from Ronald McDonald House to get some cash for supplies. They were having thier son out of his ward for that night and wanted to make him a feast (he was a long term cancer patient). I gave them the tickets and they took him along away from the hospital for two hours... we even arranged a taxi for them. I kept the book.

No... Crocodile Dundee was fully funded and made in Australia. You want to know HOW I know this?....
When I first got married to my first husband (well only husband) I was fairly well placed financially... so I took HIM off to the accountants to get his tax done... while we were there, the accountant wanted to know if I was interested in investing in a little Australian movie that was having trouble with funding..... So the movie was to be made with small investors making up the shortfall... I had NEVER liked Paul Hogan... so I said NO....
Twelve months later the hubby had gone through al themoney and run up HUGE debts in my name......
Ahhhh hindsight .......
And I still think Crocdile Dundee is a crap movie.

Just watched "Mary and Max" a claymation full length movie with the voices of Toni Collete and Phillipe Seymore Hoffman and Barry Humphries. Its about an eight year old Australian girl in Melbourne who makes a penpal of an obese man in New york.... thier friendship and letters last all through their lives... its wonderful.... tears at the end
And when the sign off song over the credits came up it was a song that I learnt a routine for as a pom pom girl for a carnival at my school when I was 11... and I suddenly remembered ALL the movements Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh silly me.... of course...
and I have a deep understanding of the parks and public grassy type areas from watching Benny Hill chase bikini clad blondes around to mad mad zanny music.
Oh and "Australia" the movie is a load of bollocks as well!
