Duelling commentaries on “Antichrist.”
In which Your Humble Blogger exercises, to a point and in a fashion, his inner Glenn Kenny.
COMMENTARY ONE:
“The only reason I don’t shoot you has nothing to do with duty or principle. It’s simply a matter of knowing who I am.”
“Is that why you won’t let it see you? Why you can’t bear the gaze? Because you’ve done terrible things. Then there are the transgressions you never even knew you committed. Those are the worst, because those you can never forget. All you can do is suspect.”
“I’m not in the habit of arguing over the color of red herrings.”
– Aeon Flux & Trevor Goodchild, “The Demiurge”
COMMENTARY TWO:
“I gots the hit in the balls with a train cinder block right in the balls blues!”
– Toki Wartooth, “Bluesklok”
A deeper and more comprehensive analysis will be forthcoming. Erm, whenever I’ve grappled with the film long enough to arrive at one.
