I saw a preview of this film and I have no clue what it's about. – Fierce Beaver ( talk) 22:36, (UTC) Synopsis? Lars von Trier divides audiences with 'Antichrist'.Here's a link to an AP article describing some critical reaction and comments from the director that could be worked into the article: Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.185.211.217 ( talk) 07:55, (UTC) Cannes reaction
It has some quite scary and disturbing scenes, but it's not something that will get your heart beating faster. Also, unrelated to this question, its wrong to label it a horror movie when it's actually not. Trier often mix a lot of different things together. 02:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC) Gnosticism ĭoes the plot seem to come from some Gnostic sources? 14 Mandy Starship porn star designationĬhances are real good news and photos from the filming of Antichrist will appear in European news before it does in the U.S.The point with this movie though is that everyone has the right to a theory because even Director Lars von Trier has said he couldn’t explain the movie fully even if he wanted to, as he wrote it during a period of intense depression. Her expressions when he finally rids himself of the grindstone suggests a certain peace over her impending murder at his hands. Instead, she probably drove him to rage deliberately, through her continued aggression and torture, to the point where he felt compelled to kill her. Likely, her guilt over being in the throes of pleasure while her son fell to his death ravaged her so monstrously, suicide seemed an inadequate measly punishment. Her having seen the kid seems to be something she has convinced herself about the events in hindsight. This coupled with the fact that she deliberately forced an abnormality on the kid’s foot indicts her. Towards the end of Antichrist, she is shown to have actually seen her son walk towards the window while fucking, which she then chose to ignore. Thoughts on the Ending – Massive Spoilers: While at Eden, she vacillates in bipolar fashion between being submissive and accusatory and soon, he realizes he is probably not equipped to handle her. As part of his methodology, he decides that they head over to their cabin in a woody place called Eden, where she’d spent summer alone with her son.
With time, the woman is not able to deal with her grief and the husband suggests he take over her care and get rid of all the medication she’s being fed.
She’s been working on some sort of a thesis on the concept of hatred towards women just because they are women (gynocide), while he’s a therapist, though it’s unclear whether he is practicing.Īnyway, while they’re busy fucking to glory one snowy night, their little son stumbles out of his crib through an open window and falls to his death.
