Golden Slumbers – Round 3

“Once there was a way/To get back homeward” – Maze Jack stalks off to the right. As discussed in the earlier sections for this song, there’s an undercurrent of Jack’s desire to reach the tomb, and Danny’s desire to return to the womb. Jack choosing the right hand path here seals his fate, and allows for Danny’s escape. So Jack can go to die, and Danny can go to his mommy (he cries this out–“Mommy!”–five times after escaping the maze, his first (and last) dialogue in almost 80 minutes as Danny, and his last lines before that were, “Mom? Mom!? Mom, are you in there?”).
Oddly, though, Jack stalks the other way from the photo beside backward Jack, here, which hangs above photo Jack at the end. Seems like the sort of thing that could’ve been corrected for. Maybe not.
The other thing to note is how this whole lyrical section occurs over Ullman’s RED BOOK. As a metaphor for Satan’s Red Book, that’s a pretty good visual metaphor for Jack’s deathlust. You know, maybe one way to define narcissism is the pathological inability to love the impermanence of things.

“Golden slumbers fill your eyes” – Wendy has the “Ivory” and “Joy” bottles behind her here. Not to mention the silver-blue clew back there too.
In round 2, Danny and Wendy are watching Summer of ’42, which includes a young woman talking to a younger teen over a kitchen table, with a similarly bemused/embarrassed affect running between the woman and boy respectively.

“Once there was a way/To get back home” – Backward Danny and Wendy slip away from the film on this line, as forward Wendy runs to the snowcat. The cabin of the snowcat, blotting out the window to the Suite 3 bathroom where was their “home” here.
Remember, the mountain behind the Kensington Apartments is called Green Mountain. And Wendy tells the doctor they’re originally “from Vermont”. Vermont is likely an anglicized contraction of “Vert Mont”, French for “Green Mountain”. So, there used to be a way to get back homeward…
Recall that the round 1 part of this song played over Hallorann’s tireless mission to bring them the vehicle (Wendy now stands beside). This includes the cartoon behind Durkin’s head, which is a cartoon, like the one that was just playing before backward Wendy and Danny.
