It's for the birds

I've been watching this over and over and over again. Be warned that it is extremely crude and explicit but considering we are reading Ovid's Metamorphoses and people are being ripped limb for limb you can all handle it.
The name of the movie is reservoir dogs- strangely comparable to pool dogs-Acteaon's Dogs......
But what I would like you to point out for anyone that has seen the movie is that the entire movie happens twice; once in this opener, and again throughout the movie. That is, the same spirit behind what happens, happens in both. everything connects, and I'm not quite sure how to point it out yet, but the reason I noticed this is because of the line by Steve Buscemi where he calls tipping pregnant women is "For the Birds". I immediately thought of the constant transformation of people into birds because they spread trivial gossip that changes things even when it doesn't have any effect-merely a change of perspective.....I'm rambling on....more later.
