A Love Story

she clatters her way through my upper shelf

dissembling books from their literal dispositions

forcing me as a metaphor of pity's metonymy

purging my symmetry and assembling anomalies.

i wake up to find my wretched dream

dreamed into my now slumber life

left to deify her delightful ego

from the letters of my once adored language.

Antichrist- short short review

The difficulties that I had to surmount to watch this movie will run into pages but that not being the primary concern here let me go to the effect that the movie had on me. It was two hours of shock, horror and repulsion. After this movie I don't think I am ever going to be shocked at any of those accounts or sights of sexual violence on man or woman. I don't even understand how the actors were able to carry it out. Friends who were sitting on either side swore that they are never going to bring me for the next version of IFFK. After the movie I was really interested to know what exactly did the director Lars von Trier want to signify with all that sexual violence on screen...he must have meant something. The reviews talked something about the biblical allusions and all...but here is my take on it. The present world is so full of violence and the movie employs a kind of alienation effect wherein the audience is jolted with such scenes that he sits up and realizes what he takes for granted is in fact a grave offense that may destroy mankind. It is intended to give a shock to the conscience of a society which teaches its children to be non- responsive and close their eyes to such crimes (and wait till it happens to you to take some action). I wonder if the eve- teasers and the rapists get the point...#!*%
