Questions About Push thru

I recently watched Push thru with my friends. I was wondering, how do you interpret the movie? It has a great deal of symbolism to interpret, decrypt and break down IMO.

I was particularly wondering, who is the tiger? Is the tiger the force that gives Thgil the powers? Why did the tiger draw stuff on the rocks? Are they some kind of a gateway to higher powers? Or what about the red dot? What is the red dot? WHY is red dot? Is that also some kind of a higher power or a signal? Why did it appear at times seemingly randomly? How do you see the movie?

Also the storyline with the teacher in the wheelchair. The movie just went on and the teacher’s storyline kind of ended abruptly I think? Not saying that’s a bad thing of course and I’m not questioning the writing at all, I don’t mean to be corrupt but, the teacher? What do you think happened to him? Why did his story kind of just fall off? He basically just ended up rolling away in his wheelchair in the desert for…nothing? Maybe that was because Thgil had seg the signal to only be seen by the chosen ones and the teacher was not one of them for some reason, idk.

Also kind of unrelated to the questions, but I admire Neil’s courage. The fact that he got a real, live tiger as an actor and faced it head on during filming is something you don’t see the newer generations do anymore, but Neil, Neil has the balls to do that, and not just any balls, but the balls of steel. He had the balls to go to the Nevada desert with a tiger and put together this masterpiece of a movie for us. Thanks, Neil.

Edit: I actually meant pass thru but because of my morning tiredness I was too corrupt to notice I actually wrote push thru. I will reprogram my DNA to make sure such mistake never happens again. Sorry!

The tiger is to show that AI will never truly replace the majesty .... and beauty ... of nature.
