Stations of the Cross

Sorta goes with Phases of the moon.

However when I first saw this movie 2 years or so back I was immediately taken back 65 years to when, being taken to church [Catholic] by my father [who art in Heaven] I was fascinated by the Stations of the Cross down both walls of the church.  They were of the "carved" type [ie not just paintings] and were quite impressive.

So when I woke from the boring Timothy Leary psychedelic LSD sequence and saw Dave [now in black] seated under the picture of a man in red seemingly hanging from a tree, the "burglar alarm" [if you will] that was ringing loud and clear was that this was a Kubrick version of The Last Supper, and of course it further developed that way, right down to the Judas spilling of the salt.

 The one I had in mind was Station #12 which I called the wailing women, and here is a typical depiction:

 Note the outstretched arms of the distressed woman, and if we compare to ASO we see:

 We have the same type of wailing women and outstretched arms.  The man is in the same plane but is clearly 3 feet higher and his head is slumped forward as for someone who has been hung.  And when we first see Dave in black here his head is slumped right down towards the table as if he is already dead.

I will try to add some video but the issue is these 4 paintings line the side walls of the room as for the Stations of the Cross.  They are based on the idea Kubrick got from the Dorchester Hotel with 4 paintings.  So IMHO he has adapted painting #4 into the one above which is where Dave in red walks towards, sits down and becomes Dave in black, as his life "passes before him" Lester Burnham style.
