Blue Sky Limousine

One of my favorite scenes is of the guys sitting out in the desert practically worshiping the aliens, who aren’t there, and singing the tune that we hear again at the end of the film.

Something just occurred to me. I’ve never thought this before, but it seems to make sense. At the end of the film, one keyboard/computer expert communicates with the mother ship by matching the musical tones and sequences.

All those guys in the desert were able to do that, as they showed by repeating the simplest part of the song. So what if for those guys, their adventure had already taken place? What if the alien ship played its music to them, and they answered?

Now that I think about it, I’ll bet the ship either didn’t seek a more complicated answer like it did at the end. Or if it did while still in the desert, it didn’t get it. Why? Because it waited until later to exchange previous humans for modern ones (if I remember correctly).

Wow, this is interesting to think about…
