Try Schopenhauer:

The world that we perceive is a �presentation� of objects in the theatre of our own mind; the observers, the �subject,� each craft the show with their own stage managers, stagehands, sets, lighting, code of dress, pay scale, etc. The other part of the world, the Will, or �thing in itself,� which is not perceivable as a presentation, exists outside time, space, and causality. Aquila claims to make these distinctions as linguistically precise as possible.[8]

  The film presents the viewer with a dichotomy, e.g., two planets...
  
  On a near collision path with the other, one planet is considered a "rogue" and therefore dangerous.
  
  Now let's make the wedding reception a microcosm, an "Earth" in this case.
  
  What are the rogue elements to planet Wedding Reception? Did its course serve as a fly-by or a collision?
  
  This dichotomy is the key to understanding the other themes of the film, a major one being science vs faith, and leaves it up to the viewer on how this ultimately addresses the two parts of the film.

    I'll stay firmly in the bored and pointless camp.

      Justine slips on a banana peel. Claire helps her up, and in doing so, both end up falling down on their bottoms to audible effect. The guests at the wedding reception are split between laughter and shock...
