La una - Spoilers inside

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2004)

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and thought this was truly one of the greatest films I'd seen in a long time. This is not only a brilliant idea, and original as far as I know, but very creatively done. There is something for everyone. Who hasn't suffered loss in a relationship? Who hasn't hurt so bad from some loss that they didn't at least entertain the thought of "what if I never met the person in the first place?" Or Can I just get past this damn hurt part and fast forward to the living again? Very few. But for them, there's still the memories of getting picked on as a kid or getting bathed in the sink.
And the ending. Incredible depiction of human nature to go for the forbidden fruit! Even when they are telling their own selves that the relationship is bad and that the person is horrible.. they still want to go back to eachother. It's like in real life.. you can tell yourself over and over again that someone is wrong for you, and you know it.. yet, there's something that draws you. This movie just turns that inside person to life... and each character is literally TELLING THEMSELVES to stay away. And excellent job all around to cast, writer and director in catching the awkward feelings and embarassment of listening to yourself trashtalk a near stranger that you have developed a new crush on. Great scene! I couldn't stop laughing.
But here's the thing that I saw, and maybe I'm too much like my Highschool Poetry teacher, reading things that aren't there...BUT...
Anyone else notice that the van door was missing the "c"? I can only assume that this is on purpose, because, Why else? So it got my mind going. I presume the director was leaving a hidden little treasue/ puzzle for the audience. I don't speak Spanish, but what little I do know, makes me assume that the "La una" left behind when the "c" is taken off the door means "The One". By itself, it doesn't really mean much. But if there is no "c" in "the one", does that also mean...
There is no seein' the one.
Which is what Lacuna does. Erase your mind so that there is no seeing "the one."
Anyone know anything more about this? Am I on to something or is this just old news?
