You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you don't even get what you need.

Re: Three Wishes
Another non sequitur...
I believe that the tune being played in the video is called "La Storia Di Un Soldato" (The Story Of A Soldier). It was the song performed by the Confederate prisoners during Tuco's interrogation scene in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".

Re: Three Wishes
I think your all missing the whole point of the movie. Non sequitur movies are supposed to make you think, don't judge it 3 seconds after you have seeing it. This movie has an interesting concept. The man made 3 wishes. It's interesting to look at why the "genie" who was supposed to grant him ever whim gave him things the man didn't think he would get but they were just as relevant. The point is not to be so direct, be thankfull for what you do have and anything is within your grasp.

Re: Three Wishes
i'm a bit dim about these things...
he asks for a beautiful dog, but he gets a side table... maybe he wanted something to always be there for him? (stabbing in the dark mind you)
he asks for new leather shoes, but he gets a wheelchair...in both situations, he would never use his feet, either for the leather shoes cause he wouldn't wanna ruin them, and for the wheelchair cause walking would damage him more (more stabbing)
and he asks for his hair to grow back, but he ges a table lamp...maybe this so people will see him in a new light? (pun...terrible terrible pun..)
so..yeah...what's your take on it?

Re: Three Wishes
Personally, this is what I got from it -
The wisher is a hopeful young man. He wants a beautiful dog, a for-legged companion. While in his young age, he is oblivious to the inevitable factor of death in animals and is instead given a table, something that, in a sense, is already dead and cannot die again.
He asks for new leather shoes, but instead recieves a wheelchair. Both are used as transportation, but this time, the leather shoes are already dead. The wheelchair has never experianced death.
He asks for his hair to grow back, something we can assume has experianced death, as it is no longer there. He receives a table lamp, something of unlimited energy, maybe a metaphor for the afterlife?
I dunno. Call me morbid.
