Are you familiar with the book or the movie? (I'm not.)
Did such familiarity point you to this particular interpretation? (I could come up with several others.)
When you call it "an idiomatic expression," do you mean to imply that it's commonly used, or that it's commonly known to have that particular meaning?
Would you do me the favor of using i
