"The Antichrist"

I have some allergic urticaria on my face and left arm after taking a nap today. I can't figure out what's causing it. Did you wipe your face in the morning? Medicines for tonsillitis recently? Fish for lunch? Or haven't you smoked these days?

But after watching the film, these allergy-like symptoms disappeared. In fact, I know that this type of allergic reaction lasts no more than 24 hours, but I am also inclined to watch this film, which may have caused the body to produce antihistamines.

Watching this movie is like smoking too many cigarettes. Each new cigarette is actually caused by the brain's demand for nicotine. However, when nicotine is involved, the stimulation of tobacco leaves becomes more and more uncomfortable.

The name "Antichrist" is just a formality, as is the metaphysical cleverness with which many films are directed. The metaphor in the film and his actor's purgatory performance combine to form a strong self-inner contrast.

This film is his most "kind" to me, he doesn't completely treat the audience as an "idiot" that can be manipulated at will, and most of the time you don't feel so alienated.

Antichrist quotes

  • He: What I understood, was that you wanted to write alone. So you could finish your thesis.

    She: But I didn't.

    He: You didn't.

    She: You see? You didn't even know that.

    He: Why did you give up? That's not like you.

    She: The whole project just seemed less important, up there. As you said, when I talked to you about my subject: 'glib.'

    He: I never called your subject glib.

    She: Perhaps you didn't use that word, but that's what you meant. And, all of a sudden, it was glib. Or, even worse, some kind of lie.

    He: I see.

    She: No, you don't see. You see a lot of things, but not that.

  • He: Acorns don't cry, you know that as well as I do. That's what fear is, thoughts distort reality. Not the other way around.
