A Rooster Revolt and the Sentient Easter Island Heads

My original notes:

• A dancing woman entertains a toy chicken
• The woman then goes home to sleep, but a large chicken man watches her slumber
• The sequence then switches to the girl’s dream where she visualizes herself being lowered into a coffin
• The woman then climbs out of her coffin, her clothes taken away by chicken seamstresses
• In real life, the woman falls out of her bed
• The woman gets dressed in a fancy dress, seemingly about to go out on the town with another woman in the scene as a chicken man peeks in
• The two woman appear to have arrived at some sort of theater with their chicken man friend
• Meanwhile, somewhere else in this chicken integrated world, two women in night gowns and a large goose seem to be escaping a chicken. Is the chicken an intruder?
• Elsewhere, two girls find skeletons clad in dresses and bonnets
• Chicken men carry women off a train
• There also seems to be a chicken torture factory, where chickens torture women who they deem disobedient. 
• A battle goes on, woman vs. chicken, the ultimate gun fight
• A woman is hanged by the Chicken Imperium as an example to other women
• The women, however, do the same to a chicken in retaliation
• The chickens seem to win the battle for the day

• Easter Island esque men recount their lives and regrets: a man staring at his own reflection in the mirror, a man on his wedding day, a father berating his daughter, a sailor regretting cheating on his wife with a prostitute, a drunkard, an abuser, an actor, a man who has run out of time. 

It's very easy to tell that the first story, Thursday, is about sexism and the treatment of women. I didn't understand it at first--mostly because I'm horrible at analyzing things quickly-- but as the pictures progressed I understood that the roosters represented men. I came to this conclusion about halfway through when I realized there were no human men being depicted. Then, of course, the torture scenes and the hanging of a woman at the very end made the message quite clear.

One could argue that the next story is the reverse, how men feel they are treated by women. But I don't think it's that at all. I believe the first story is linear, and shows almost the progression of the female revolt against the roosters. However the second story seems more stagnant. It doesn't seem linear, nor have any sense of moving forward in time. The individual images of the Easter Island men show that man's personal story, whereas the entirety of Thursday was an overarching story of women all over the rooster infested world. 

In Thursday, all the men were roosters, but in the Easter Island story not all the men had the statue heads. There's an image where an Easter Island Head man is seen confronting a woman having some kind of romantic physical interaction with another man. This could be the Easter Island Head man's wife cheating on him, or maybe it's his daughter being with a man her father doesn't approve of. But the man the woman is with doesn't have the Easter Island head, he is depicted as a regular human. That's what makes me believe that the Easter Island narrative is an inward reflection of each individual man's life, regrets, or desires.
