I mean the thing she was wearing at the very beginning was pretty sexy but the movie pretty quickly goes into you'd have to be a loving psycho to still have wood territory

This is one of my favorite Aronofsky films in retrospect (I also really liked The Fountain, which this most closely resembles of his filmography).

I would probably never watch it again, similar to that time I saw Enter the Void in theaters.

Enter the Void hosed me up hardcore when I saw it in theaters like few movies have. Doesn't help it was longer, more oppressive cut of the movie

I imagine the frequent strobing lights and industrial soundscapes/throbbing gristle of it all would be absolutely overwhelming in a theater setting. Noe films never really get shown where I live sadly, I'd kill to see it or "Irreversible" with it's wild sex club scene some day. "Good Time" might be the closest I've gotten to that kind of experience at parts.

I like reading people's takes on this movie on facebook because it's the first movie in a while where when someone doesn't "get it" it means they literally got to the end not realizing that it's just bible stories, presented in order, happening inside a house and it's weird to see all the interpretations of the movie as being other things.

I saw someone who took this movie as some sort of like. The guy was a wizard and made a robot wife with a crystal heart and that was what the movie was.

I'd like to watch the British SF movie from the 70s that guy seems to have seen.

Seriously, it seems like a lot of people that don't notice "it's the bible" are taking it as some allegory for marriage or trying to read it all as "metaphor for a writer" but I love the idea of misreading it so hard it's just a sci-fi story about a robot with a crystal heart.

There is no reason it's only bible stories though.

I can actually be using disguised bible stories to be about the isolation of artists or whatever.

You are mocking others for not getting it but making a pretty narrow reading yourself.





I'm with you on loling at the crystal-hearted robot in particular, though

I do think it's a bit more than just the bible though, so theoretically someone could miss that part and say that it's about patriarchy and they'd still be technically correct. And there's a lot in there about the act of creation and what it means, so boiling that down to "metaphor for X" would be somewhat missing the point but not completely. But there's clearly a lot to it other than just a string of unrelated bible stories.

I’m gearing up for a rewatch but yes, there’s clearly biblical stuff in it, however it ties that material in with how women are mistreated in personal relationships I.E. gaslighting, and wraps it up with an environmentalist message as well, and the larger point is how our faith is toxically intertwined with how we treat gender roles and the earth at large, to humanity’s detriment

I'm not saying it's just the bible and nothing else, but it's still funny to read the readings people have on this movie that had the "gimmick" of the story totally go over their heads.

Like I'm sure someone somewhere has a ten page essay on why john goodman wears an eye patch in o brother where art thou that never connects to why he has an eye patch. And because that movie was well written I bet they even do a good job pulling it into the themes of the movie.

I'd add Gnosticism as well, but for a brute-force summation of this movie's many themes this is pretty drat good.
