I think I have figured out the symbolism of the three hats-and the three holding hands-I even believe I have figured out the symbolism of the three ducks. But, what does the symbolism of the three Great Danes mean?
Surely, not that he is going to the dogs?????

Joe never ceases to amaze me. I always find something new in it each time I watch it. This last time (today) my wife and I were watching the film and she spotted another Zig Zag symbol that I don't think anyone has recognized thus far. The shape of Joe's office at the factory is in the shape of the zig zag. Look at how the lights on the ceiling are arranged, and the long thin, hall to the coffee machine and you can start to picture it. The symbolism in this movie is one of my favorite parts, like when Patricia unclenches her fist for Joe at the end. LOVE it to death!

hello, i don't know if this would interest any of you but,
the Dundee theater in Omaha Nebraska will be playing
Joe Versus the Volcano on Friday and Saturday December
10th and 11th at 11:59pm. I want to let all the
Midwesterners know so they can have the chance to see
this fine motion picture on the big screen again, I haven't seen it that big in almost 15 years!

Is it wrong to put this dvd on repeat every night at the foot of my bed, watch it once and sleep to it over and over?
If it is, I don't wanna be right :)
Saw it in the theatre the night it opened when I was 13. Didn't watch it again until about 2 months ago. I wonder why Shanley never directed again. Perhaps he made his masterpiece on his first film.

My twin brother saw this movie at a kids birthday party in 1990 when we were in the fourth grade. He came back and said it was the best movie he ever saw. I saw it not too soon after. It was the best movie we ever saw when we were ten, and the best movie we have ever seen since. Somehow it just makes me feel special. Kind of like when I went to Epcot when I was a kid. Hard to explain. I can sympathize with everyone on the search for the soundtrack. For many years, whenever I went to a record store I would automatically head to the "soundtracks" section and look under "J". I was dissapointed every time. When I first saw it, I was too young to get a lot of the jokes, like the crummy doctors waiting room that turns into the lush doctors office with the fireplace when Joe walks through the door. But I felt the magic nonetheless. I loved the scene where he is hallucinating on the luggage raft and looks up at the constellations and they are the pictures. I also love how when Joe and Dee Dee are on the Staten Island ferry all the lights in the buildings of Manhatten are lit up in reds and greens and blues and yellows. After I saw that movie when I was ten we went to New York and I was hoping to see that! I forgot about the movie for many years but rediscovered it a few years ago when the dvd came out. Now I have a bumbersticker on my car that says "I have a brain cloud". Every once in a while someone behind me at a light absolutely freaks out over it! Tom Hanks' greatest movie wasn't Saving Private Ryan, or Sleepless in Seattle, or the Green Mile or even Turner and Hooch or Splash. It was JVTV!

The Elvis version of "Blue Moon" that's featured in the film is on "The Sun Sessions" CD.

Thank you for this site and for the soundtrack , i was looking for 16 tons when i found this site ...This film is one of the films that made a big impact in my life at a very sensetive ,lonely time of my life .It must be about almost 9/10 years ago when i saw it for the first time ..i was 19/20 ...
But it's also one of these films i've grown away from ! after few years ..it lost a lot of its charm that it had when i was younger ( still crazy about 16 tons and old man river in the film!) .I saw also in Cairo (egypt where i come from) another film when i was few years older and younger by the legendery japaneese director Akira Kurosawa called ikiru :
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044741/
which had a very similar idea but was much more socially involved ,it showed how different people in different times and socities (america of 80s versus japan in the 50s!)would go in very different ways with the same idea ! i recommend this film ..it's too long (bit boring for american standards)but the message is absolutly worth it !
