"Anyone good at analysis?"

Hey everyone. I gotta do this media thing for tomorrow and i think that the picture in the middle of this poster represents something but im not sure what!

The killer wears a mask in the film, but the mask isnt made out of paper and doesnt say "she loves me, she loves me not" all over the real mask. I think there is some symbolism (sp?) behind it all but i cant explain it. I think it may be something to do with him hiding behind a mask because of something that happened when he was at school but im not sure!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Also, if you squint you can make out a knob and balls.

I think it's already been said but the way the writing is written on the mask, in that scrawled ink effect and on paper that is clearly lined A4, it signifies school, which couples with the text about him being ignored on Valentines day.

The faceless and unseeing mask against a background of a rose it like symbolising emptiness against the contrast of something associated with love and eroticism.

Congratulations, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything

Thanks to everyone who had seriously tried to help. Appreciate your efforts :)

Ahahaha media

but even still
you're having great difficulty with maybe the simplest thing ever

Also probably somethin to do with the rose, indicative of a good will gesture, affection and whatnot, but also has a dark natured side, the thorns and whatnot. It's this kind of BS that got me an A* in English gcse... and whatnot...
