In my native language, we call them "film"

"filmer" in plural. It is a word of Germanic origin, and has splintered and been passed back and forth.

"fille" is a cognate word, that means "rag"
"fell" means a coat of fur, be it on a living animal, or taken off it.

Both "film", "fell", and "fille" denote something flat.

I call them moving pictures.

Unless there's sound, then I call them "talkies".

The shit eating scene didn't bother me much. It's just the random stuff they did with no meaning that was creepy.

I understand it was meant to be symbolic, but I am shit with symbolism.

The movie is about the consumerist society. The shit is a symbol for junk food and vulgar culture.

The arbitrariness is to symbolize that no customs, no ideals, no logic exist in the consumerist society.
