(repost/unsolved) A giant monster wreaks havoc on a city and gets revenge on its mortal enemy. But in the end, it's just not that big. (No offense, bro.)

This one's been up a few times, but I'm gonna keep trying.

Hint 1: >! The storyline I reference is a minor part of the movie. Other storylines involve silence and there's a bit about putting the lotion on its skin. But Anthony Hopkins is in no way involved.!<

Hint 2: >!There are two important scenes involving snakes. One's not real, and the question of whether the other one is venomous doesn't seem to elicit much concern.!<

Hint 3: >!Someone gets hit by a small car at full speed.!<

Hint 4: >!The monster is later revealed to be nearly two-dimensional.!<

Hint 5: >!Other important moments in the movie: an exploration of inappropriate touching and consent, a demonstration of automotive safety, an electrifying dance number, and animal husbandry.!<

Hint 6: >!A man gets intimate with bees. Lots of bees.!<

Hint 7: >!A man decides to start a new life in a basement.!<
