The Sandlot is a metaphor for David Evans's feelings of existential nihilism... the bases representing arbitrary platforms upon which we must often plant ourselves for no reason other than the bat of sheer fortune strikes the ball of inane opportunity. At the end, the players fading from the screen symbolizes the futility wrought by standing on these dirt-covered platforms of abject nothingness. Were they ever really there? Was their struggle against the dog meaningful to their existence? The mere possibility of saying nay to these inquiries is proof enough that The Sandlot is a vacuum in which there is not even a crevice of significance.
Wow! Is that original? That was very impressive.

Is anything truly original?! Though my scope of vision is broadened by the shoulders of ancestors on which I stand, is my perspective not also limited by the fixed position of the very platform?
Yeah, I made that shite up. Sorry.
