Manhunter analysis - part 45: More references to water in the movie

CATEGORY: MOVIES

In part 36 of the analysis, two references to water in Manhunter were mentioned. Below are listed some additional references to water in the film.









The Graham home in Captiva, Florida is situated on the beach.









Will has a dream of working on a boat, while he is on the flight to Birmingham.








Mrs. Sherman of the Sherman family, Dollarhyde's intended third victim family, is sitting next to a pool (in the home video Dollarhyde is watching).









It is sprinkling and foggy outside while the authorities are driving to Dollarhyde's house.









The aquarium in the Graham home, is another reference to water.



All of these references to water are references to the three days and nights the biblical prophet Jonah spent, in the belly of a whale. The significance of Jonah for our movie, will be gone into in more detail later in the analysis.
