When people see the Lenin/Lennon scene
They think of this Lennon - I am the Walrus
But what the Coen Bros. are referring to through the "confused" Donny is the Walrus and the Carpenter cartoon from Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951) or the Lewis Carroll novel if you prefer to read.
Because Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter is what John Lennon is referring to also and it is actually a fable about being wary of religion. Donny keeps repeating "I am the Walrus." The Walrus is Lewis Carroll's story symbolizes the Buddha and Eastern religion while the Carpenter symbolizes Jesus of Nazareth and Western religion.
Donny is the Coen bros. symbol for the Buddha. Like Siddharta he is aesthetically thin and unassuming. He's a pacifist. He lets others do the talking without endorsing hat they say. Donny is Buddha.
I've locked this thread because it's identical to this one:
"I am the Walrus" ~Donny (http://dudeism.com/smf/the-da-fino-code/%27i-am-the-walrus%27-~donny/msg44969/?topicseen#new)
I'm assuming this is a mistake.
