In the film Jacob's Ladder, did Danny Aiello's character serve a specific purpose?
This has always bugged me, because the movie (I believe) is supposed to take place in some sort of Purgatory. Danny Aiello's character seems to be pivotal in that he's always offering guidance to Tim Robbins (Jacob). But the movie (to me, at least) is so very confusing to begin with.
Has anyone seen this movie that can shed some light on it for me?

It's been a long time since I saw it, but as I recall, Danny Aiello was kind of a guardian angel. Several times he pulled Tim Robbins out of a tough spot and "realigned" him (got him back on the correct spiritual path). The "realignments" hurt Tim, but Tim needed it.
