I find him to be a very morbid director. I was shocked some people were shocked about the double dildo scene for example. I was more than OK with it, I've seen worse things, I just think he was judging these characters too harshly.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-80997783104894485232010-10-09T10:20:37.440-06:002010-10-09T10:20:37.440-06:00Oddly I've never been put off by the brutalism...Oddly I've never been put off by the brutalism of Aronofsky's message in Requiem - I believe I may be one of the few people that watch it time and time again (I especially enjoy watching it with people who haven't seen it before).<br /><br />Aronofsky simply doesn't pull away from the horror at any point daring you as a viewer to watch on. It's this arresting visual work and heady symbolism that is making me so enthusiastic about seeing Balck Swan. Just imagine what he can do with a real horror story.Runs Like A Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170144191875296336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-89451587122693327392010-10-07T16:45:35.088-06:002010-10-07T16:45:35.088-06:00okinawa: sorta except that I said Haneke was among...okinawa: sorta except that I said Haneke was among my faves, not on my top 2 :)<br /><br />Andrew: thanks!<br />Well I hate "The Fountain" for example and think "Pi" would've worked better if it was an hour shorter. "The Wrestler" I love though.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760596761162985469.post-17289893605216977022010-10-07T13:47:26.397-06:002010-10-07T13:47:26.397-06:00Nice writeup, but I have to say regarding your ope...Nice writeup, but I have to say regarding your opening it's like you're inside my head.
