Who can hear cries in whispers?
Maybe anyone knows this movie.
Red: Can be passionate, crazy, cruel.
White: Can be indifferent, alienated, forbearing.
Red is the mucous membrane of the uterus, which is birth; it is blood, which is death.
White is layers of shrouds, death; swaddling, birth.
Red is a projection of our inner passions, and we use white to separate us from each other.
White is the floodgate we lock in our suffering, and we let red flow out of our bodies.
Maria is judged in reminiscence for the wounds her husband inflicted on her.
Karin is judged in reminiscence, for the wounds she inflicted on herself.
As the authority to judge others rests in our wounds and death.
Then the authority to forgive others lies in our life and resurrection.
Ana judged in hallucinations by Agnes' death; forgiven by hallucinations by the resurrection of Agnes.
Agnes, however, neither judges nor forgives, for she has renounced this authority.
A world without answers.
A world without redemption.
A world without God.
Only light.
Give the other half of the world darkness.
So we shouted to each other.
We whisper alone.
And all that can be said is silence.
