The final liquid moon link scene also highlights the theme of the gaze and the objectification of women. Buffalo Bill's crimes are motivated by his desire to create a "perfect" woman, which is reflected in his obsessive attention to detail and his need for control. The liquid moon link can be seen as a manifestation of this gaze, where the objectified woman is transformed into a fluid, amorphous entity. This echoes the film's exploration of the male gaze, where women are reduced to objects of desire and control.
