Am I imagining things, or was there a movie that ended with a baby breastfeeding, and Thus Spake Zarathustra playing as a soundtrack?

The only movie I can think of that ended with a baby breastfeeding was THE CHILDREN, but I don't remember TSZ being in it.

It's such a bizarre memory, or was it only my imagination?  The movie closes with a close-up of a baby breastfeeding, and Thus Spake Zarathustra blares in accompaniment.

Well, check out THE CHILDREN and let us know if that's the one.

It sucks that I don't know the answer to this question.  :wink:

It might be Zardoz, but the music was by Beethoven.

Just checked the end of Zardoz, just to make sure.  Not the one.  I must be conflating movies somewhere...

I think I've solved this one: Mods, please move this to Solved.

It appears that I did, in fact, conflate two movies.  The breastfeeding of the baby in the end credits is from the Juzo Itami's Tampopo (1985).  Breastfeeding in credits, check.  But carnival music plays in the background.

The Thus Spake Zarathustra music in the end credits is from one of my favourite B(ee)-movies, Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973).  As the music plays, the camera pulls back out of a window, and focuses on bees gathering pollen from flowers in the foreground.
