Love it. Fun to step through this type of analysis of such a masterpiece. That said, I must admit I have a pet peeve against looking too deeply for meanings in things. Shiny floors do not necessarily, intentionally reinforce a mirror theme; they just happen to be shiny in a fancy decorative hotel. Red floors may not foreshadow a river of blood; they're just red because that's what color they are in the shooting location. Cameras following behind actors is not so uncommon as to give it some special meaning and tie it symbolically to driving through the mountains. A ball bouncing off a wall isn't foreshadowing an axe coming through a door (well, okay, then again maybe that one is legitimate...)

I agree that sometimes being too critical can be annoying, but what you have to keep in mind with a film like this, is that it's not just a story but more so a work of art.. like in The Great Gatsby for instance in the beginning where Gatsby looks over at Daisy's house seeing a green light signifying go. I mean the fact that with both the opening scene and later in Danny's chase a wide angle shot is intentionally used to make both objects appear minuscule seems a bit to coincidental. Even the timing in which both the ball and axe strike seems to be in agreement as if it'd already been planned out. It's connections like these that directors use to differentiate and convey their art and i dunno, it seems kind of silly for a studio to waste a bunch of money on shinin' up the floors for no purpose, but i definitely could be wrong.
