Title: Karl Hungus
Post by: Elbowski on November 09, 2009, 11:51:06 PM
Uli Kunkel/Karl Hungus. Who is this dude? There is a deep Dude who posts on another forum, he says that Karl Hungus is Carl Jung. At first I couldn't see it, now I know that he's right.

In the Logjammin' credits, we see the names Karl Hungus and Bunny Lajoya. the name "Lajoya" is Spanish, and the J is sounded like an H. That is the clue that tells us that the H in Hungus represents a J. We first see Karl/Uli unconscious in the water, this refers to Jung.

Another clever wiz kid noted that in the Logjammin' flick, Karl fixes the cable, while his real life counterpart Uli cuts the Dude's cable (symbolically) in the bath. Uli and Karl are mirror opposites. Karl is a loose ladies man, while Uli is uptight and frustrated.

holy shit!

new shit has come to light!

carl jung. never got that one.

the whole hero myth thing that joseph campbell brought to light was based on jung's theories about archetypes.

and there certainly are plenty of dream sequences.

far fucking out, man.

anybody got any input?
