Where the film landed for you
You read the film as afraid
Most of your cards went toward Fear.
Cunningham would say you need his tapes. The film would say you were watching closely: the flood, the book ban, the arrest and the whisper in Donnie’s ear all run on fear, and the line’s own inventor turns out to have lived at this end of it. The exercise was designed to make this look like the wrong answer. It isn’t - it is just an answer.
In the film: Kitty Farmer, if she were honest with the card. Roberta Sparrow, who only ever says one thing.
