Are the numbers relatively common? I haven't had a chance to study Jung in detail ( I've missed out on a lot of aspects due to that) so any parts of his works that detail the use of numbers with the archetypes that you can think of would be helpful for me in terms of learning about him. That was the part I was most confused on since I know certain theologies put more thought into number theory and I didn't realize he had as well.
The rest is pretty generalized, although it obviously sounds Jungian in basis. I think it's interesting that it's spawned this much referencing, but aside from the characters possibly representing aspects of the soul I'm not sure what else could actually be seen as subtle attempts at symbolism. There's a Mentor and other archetypes in every movie if you look hard enough. Naturally, this is all just speculation; I don't actually know anything since I haven't seen the movie yet.
That's why I asked for clarification. I actually haven't seen the movie, so I wouldn't know the details involving the robots. I just know they're in there.
OH YEAH and since I saw the other comment down there, I think the viewer isn't supposed to be paying attention to the fact that the coin is laid so much as the characters thought to do it. Where would they have known to do that? Would it have just felt right? Why did they gain such respect for their fellow being's body instead of doing the sensible thing and destroying it like you asked?
Now that sounds like collective unconscious/ghost in the shell ideas to me. Of course, I don't know the layout of the scene, so that's just me with brain-fry.
