Rachel Conley - Bunny Movie

The movie Bunny is one that needs to be watched more than once to fully understand what all is happening. The elderly female bunny is making dinner when a firefly begins to fly around her. She tries to kill it and it falls in her food. She then takes her food, shoves it in the over, and turns it on to make sure she is rid of the firefly. The bunny then lies down in her chair and falls asleep. What happens then is something that has to be thought about. The bunny wakes up and the firefly flies out of the oven, so the bunny follows the firefly into the oven. There the bunny is taken into another world and reunites with her deceased husband.

What is really happening is that the bunny dies while sleeping in her chair. The firefly represents her previously deceased husband who is showing her the way to the afterlife. To get there the bunny has to go through the oven and, even though the oven is smaller than the bunny, she has no problem getting through. The scene in the oven represents the bunny’s journey to the afterlife.
