The portrayal of Dani’s depression/co-dependence was so immediately spot-on between her verbiage (all the apologizing) and the mind-mazes of self-blame she lays for herself. My wife suffers from all that and so all that foul poo poo was just ringing alarm bells for us right away in the theatre. It seemed like a movie about working through depression. You get the gently caress out of winter, get some heat and light, get medicated, and burn off all the toxic portions of your old life. The amount of contrasts between Dani and Christian’s awful relationship and the immediate supporting nature of the cult was striking. A lot of the tension for me was whether Dani would survive—like, what is the nature of this cult? Are they going to kill this poor depressed girl who is just showing signs of being able to recover? I also appreciated that Christian’s unwillingness to leave Dani was shown more directly with his willingness to gently caress over Josh on research. (He stays with Dani because it grants him power; appropriate that he dies with none. In a bear.) Immediately he tries to make the problem something Josh created, and expects Josh to sponge up the blame like Dani does, but of course Josh is too healthy for that (but too curious to stay alive). Also the Swede both knowing the plan the whole time and really being fed up with what a poo poo person Christian was was really funny to me. I do kind of wish they would have left the incest prophet out of it. The incest is not an issue as much as like, kind of demonizing the disabled guy. I’m not sure how specifically that was needed, other than to throw more fuel on the fire that the whole festival is a sham (as in, no forces were really present).

Don’t get me wrong, I found it hilarious/crazy that all his scribbling lead to him basically creating a porno for him to watch. Thank you for the screen cap of the bear! Does anyone have one of the very first picture story? The image on the left-most section was a girl with her family being tied up in her intestines or her tubes! It’s directly a reference to the suicide. I completely spaced on the rest of it though. People picking flowers maybe? Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Jul 4, 2019 |
