So I looked up that BAO movie. It's actually a good metaphor for mothers who don't want their children to grow up. They try to make them need them, or to hinder them, so that they are dependent of the mother and won't leave home. The mother sees her child as always a baby, even when he's bringing home a chick or going out with friends. He eating him is quite symbolic. I'm not certain of ALL the occult symbolism in that, but it definitely represents the mother who wants to hold on to and control her child because she does not want the child to abandon her. The child feels choked, constricted, trapped, controlled. The mother must learn to let go. She eats him when he'S about to go with another woman. It's symbolic. Not in a sexual way, but that he's replacing his mother with a lover. The mother used to be the only woman in hid life, the woman he spent all his time with, and now she is being discarded and replaced. She must learn to let go. She does not want him to grow up.
I'm sure if I ask my husband he can tell me a bunch more symbols about that. I don't think they were on any drugs when they did that short.
