wtf japan is right. It's a Fellini movie. There IS no context. You can take ever major scene from the movie, mix them up at random and splice them back together and the only people who'd know the difference are the people who've seen it before. Even those people would think, "Huh, I don't remember it being like this. Oh well... I guess I must have forgot. *shrug*"
Oh... yeah the whipping is cool too.
