Antichrist in English means "Antichrist", and the name of the movie is "Antichrist". The director split the word into two lines for the title, which I think was intentional. If you look again, the last letter, instead of the "T" that is usually used as a "cross", is deliberately used as a sign for "Venus". I have repeatedly speculated about the meaning of the whole title, and the conclusion is: against - treating Venus as a cross, that is, against - sin in the traditional sense is caused by women.
Perhaps we can understand that the child
is just a symbol here. It can refer to children, but it can also refer to love, relationships between men and women, or dreams, religions and beliefs. After watching the movie, I recalled the first sex scene in the movie, and suddenly remembered a sentence: Love fell from the window and disappeared, silently, and the body is still entangled.
Much has been said about sexuality
, emphasizing and blaming women's turbulent, uncontrollable sexuality. There are several sex scenes in the film. In fact, the motives and methods of each sexual act are different, at least for her. Except perhaps for the first time, sex is just a tool in the film. To escape, control, vent.
About Animals
Doe eyes turn black after woman cuts off genitals.
The fox, which represents pain, is the only animal that speaks. Then came with a bell. Perhaps the pain has a voice.
I've been wondering who got the screwdriver back. It took a few replays to discover that it was the man who knocked his arm through the floor and the crow came in. Then the man suddenly saw the screwdriver. I don't know if this is a metaphor: when people release their inner despair, they also find a way to save themselves. The only flaw in the film
about him and her is that the characters are one-dimensional and one-sided.
He is caring, patient, and responsible. She is selfish, lustful, cruel. After watching the movie, I can't help but think: what is the background of this movie? How are characters defined and formed? And what is the inner logic of the film? Why is he positive? Why is she the opposite? Because the director is a man? Or is the director actually satirizing the works or theories that portray men and women so differently in a patriarchal society?
About FGM
I'm sure most people, both men and women, will shout out or in their hearts after watching her whack her husband's genitals with a hard object, drill through his legs with a drill drill, and attach a heavy grinding wheel Think: This cruel and evil woman who deserves to be killed!
Many reviews have mentioned how perverted and extreme her self-scissor part is.
See the following:
"An estimated 130 million children and women worldwide undergo female genital mutilation, and approximately 2 million women undergo genital mutilation each year. In Africa, an estimated 92.5 million girls and women aged 10 and over are subjected to female genital mutilation.”
“The majority of female genital mutilation procedures are performed on girls sometime between infancy and 15 years of age, and sometimes on adult women.”
An interview was heard on BBC radio. . Why some people insist on having their young girls undergo genital mutilation. Those interviewed said it was because of traditional customs. Many people believe that "cutting off their daughter's genitals can in a sense really bring economic and social security to their families. They need to ensure that their daughters are accepted by society, have the opportunity to marry, and have a normal life." A chance to live."
I think perhaps the director's choice of extreme and shocking expressions was deliberate: how could such extreme atrocities still exist in the 21st century we live in? Even if she "deserved" and chose to self-mutilate, we can have no sympathy. So why are those babies and girls suffering such atrocities? Just because they were born women and were born in certain countries and regions? The world should pay attention to this phenomenon.
About the human
woman, if the persecution of women in history stems from the evil in human nature. Women are also evil in human nature, so those women who are persecuted and all women have evil parts.
We can reverse this logic and the same holds true. That is, men and women are both human beings, and if there is evil in the nature of women, then of course there is evil in the nature of men.
It's like he and she in the film are just symbols, not definitions. He can be him or she; she can be her or he. Or he is both he and she, and she is both her and him.
Human nature, like all things in the universe, has two sides. But no, men represent the yang of light, and women represent the yin of darkness. Rather, men and women are one and the same, good and evil. Perhaps our purpose in this life is to explore and try to find a balanced self. This self represents not only the innumerable independent "I, he, and she", but also the whole "person".
About being a man first, then being a woman/man, or being a woman/man first, then being a man. This question has been pondered for a long time, and the conclusion is not yet available.
