And It Burns In A Ring Of Fire
You know what I found really ironic? When Rose awakens at one point in the movie (after the baby zombie incident) the Johnny Cash song "Ring of Fire" is playing on the jukebox. It was funny, because a big factor in the movie (as well as the games) was that of burning (Alessa being burned by Dahlia in the games, then by Christabella in the movie). Heh, it was kind of a foreshadowing as to what was to come later. Weird...

Didn't Rose ever get tired of just running after a little girl that looked like Sharon? After the third time in the factory, I couldn't help but sigh. But don't take this comment the wrong way, I loved the movie!
Ebert said in his review that "Ring of Fire" couldn't have fitted better anywhere else.

It's the story that happened yesterday, but I know it's tomorrow.

No, I doubt he played video games. Besides, wasn't this song written by June Carter and another songwriter? Johnny Cash didn't write it.InsideTheMirror wrote:Anyone support my idea?
I thought it was awesome when I heard this song playing in the movie, since I've always really liked Johnny.
It wasn't my first reaction to try to apply the lyrics to a specific thing in the movie, other than Rose's immediate situation; it was just after she had first encountered doom, and the lyrics related to that as well as things later in the movie. Rose was in danger of burning doom for the sake of her love for her daughter.

Perhaps someone behind the movie, such as Gans, is a fan of Johnny Cash.

Why don't we just say it applies to both Rose and Alessa? I myself think it's a bit much to presume that it's supposed to apply to events so much later in the movie as the revelation that Alessa was burned.
It applies pretty well to Rose's situation at the time it is played, and in that case, the rest of the lyrics make sense too, rather than only the chorus.
