You can see 'Saw' and feel disgusted a few hours but you see 'Antichrist' and feel it several days. Lars von Trier sees cinema and art as a way to convey emotions.

Antichrist would be lust and sex in oposition to Christ being love and care. Hell would be an orgy in a forest and women would be demons in that orgy. It talks about witchcraft, femmes fatale, lust as weapon or as madness.ДЄnd it may root these ideas in middle and dark ages images and textures. And introduces it as a historical idea which has lived from the beginning of mankind, not as a modern one. That way, you get the confrontation between us and 'they'.ДЄntichrist places the 'others' focus on women. They may be aliens, monsters, children, clowns, demons, communists, poor people, rich people, foreigners, psychos. In the horror films there's usually an 'other' who is evil, mad, dangerous, wild. So yeah.help me make sense of this (and share your opinions of the movie too). Incidentally, that movie stars Kirsten Dunst, who was also in the Spiderman movies). It reminds me a lot of Melancholia actually, which was another 'artistic' movie about mental illness that is completely off the walls (I didn't like Melancholia while watching it, but I sort of appreciate it now. I just.can someone who's seen it share their reactions about this movie? I don't even understand why it was called Antichrist.

I just don't even know where to features tons of nudity (including a full shot of penetration in the opening credits), a closeup of genital mutilation, and occultist themes tied to three animals called the 'three beggars.' It ran as a decent (though oddball) psychological drama about mental illness for the first hour, and then it just went full crazy. I need to do some research because I just watched this movie and it doesn't make ANY sense. Anyways, yeah, I was not expecting this movie to be so intensely dark. It is arguable that Ada never belonged to the couple, yet they took her to ease their own trauma and took drastic measures to stop anyone ruining their newfound happiness, and ultimately were punished by nature itself in the form of the Ram Man.Has anyone seen this? It stars Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin in Spider Man movies). Gives 100 Reddit Coins and a week of r/lounge access and ad-free browsing. Reddit user JiznthapusВ writes simply, 'you mess with Mother Nature, you're gonna get what's coming to you.' This theory suggests that the movie's message is that altering an element of the natural world will not go unnoticed. At the end of the film, Maria soon pays for her crimes. While the couple raises Ada as their own, her biological parents' desire to get her back becomes an insurmountable obstacle.ДЄs Ada's mother constantly loiters around the couple, looking for her daughter, Maria eventually murders her and buries her in a field. Part of the reason why Lamb is considered in the fairy tale genre is that it is a story of a grief-stricken couple, dealing with the loss of a child, who miraculously come into possession of another - in this case, a human/sheep hybrid, Ada.

6 Ram Man Represents The Horror Of Reality As a result, this theory does lose most of its credibility.

While Lamb makes it fairly clear that Ada's father is the Ram Man that murdered Ingvar and took Ada with him, Redditor InvisibleDudleВ states: 'I still 100% think Ingvar was the father.' While it is a fair conclusion to come to, in a bizarrely logical sense, that Ingvar could be the human part of Ada's DNA, the movie, while not specifically saying so, does heavily suggest that the Ram Man is the biological father of Ada and believes she belongs to him. Ada's mother is the sheep from who she is born, yet her father is not revealed until the final scene of the movie. They mentioned a lot of things that I hadnt noticed before, such as the. A major mystery that the movie prompts throughout is about the parentage of Ada, the half-sheep, half-human hybrid that is adopted by Maria and Ingvar.
