I admit to knowing next to nothing about snakes, except that they’re at their most attractive and interesting when they are nowhere near me. Now, herpetology was never my strong suit. Our pal the computer-generated snake is really big, really fast, and really, really hungry. And why are creatures of these types always assumed to be female? It aspires to be Jaws (or maybe Coils: ‘This snake…swallow ya whole.’) but comes up woefully short. One equally comfortable in the river and on ground. In Anaconda, however, it symbolizes, well, a snake. Historically the arts have utilized the snake as a none-too-subtle Freudian phallic metaphor.
