: great movie.. but someone explain the frogs! i have my own ideas.. i just want to hear what other people think.
I always bought the whole thing about the characters each searching for freedom in their own way, hence the following makes a good bit of sense (kinda :) )...
In Exodus 8:1-15, a shower of frogs is cast down by God on the Egyptians for their refusal to set the Israelites free: "And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs."
Apparently other meanings follow Fort's frog phenomenon and others.
