And it sorta parallels her indirect responsibility for Rocket's death...the other little sister in the movie. I really enjoyed the sister connection in this movie. Not enough movies have it.
It is vague and I think that is so you can never be quite sure who killed her. This makes baby Doll more edgy and puts the whole story on edge, is she a killer, is she crazy, is this whole movie some sort of crazy dream scene? This keeps people engaged.

Don't worry about what Oneironaut saw, he's seen it a thousand times already and probably knows it better than the director himself. When it comes out on DVD I intend to seriously close in one Oneironaut's number of viewings. He's the expert on this movie though and I have to agree with everything he has said about it, this movie has a big easy to see plot with tons of symbolism.

I also think there is a negative graphic novel prejudice when it comes to reviews. I know graphic novels a little and I also loved Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and Watchmen but similarly these received poor reviews and these were great movies! I think graphic novel are just a way of thinking or a liberal way of story telling that people are not familiar with and that angers those people. Screw'em, 20 years from now this form of story telling will be common and you can tell your kids, or grand kids, "I liked that back when it first came out and it wasn't cool to like it".
