I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think this film is about our refusal to accept the potential for reprehensible violence in those close to us. Or even in nature. The bad element is always fashioned an outsider. When something truly awful happens, it's THEM not US. Something like THAT can simply NOT HAPPEN HERE. And our media comically contribute to this ridiculously false narrative with distancing, trivialization and spin... all as our beloved civic leaders busily position and protect themselves. Or maybe it's about the man in the moon. Your choice.
