The egg was a metaphor for the puzzle of the rhyme. It's not just some story some random person made up. If you do some research you'll find that the egg was long used as a legend to depict the puzzle of when the object/person fell off the wall they were sitting on, whether it was one side or the other, the person couldn't be put back together. Not being able to be put back together was symbolism for how his life had changed because they couldn't 'place' him back on the wall to make a change to which side he fell on.
Some say this could have been an analogy for decision making, and the fine line in between. Theres LOTS of background history though, thats just one of them that i've gathered so far, and which makes most sense to me.
You're right though, movie makers aren't necessarily historical geniuses
