Man in front of God

Dameon 2022-09-17 00:57:26

There you have it. Man in front of God.

The reactions people who witness it are fascinating: you have devasation, extreme enthusiasm and utter denial.

And the man who lived through it? He sat naked beside his mortal wife and kissed her skin.

The two of them, naked in the end, holding each other, turning their back on the ultimate truth and choosing humanity, along with all of its transience, fragility and confusion.

So there you have it. A parody of Adam and Eve. A twist on the crossroad of science and religion. A mirror of our lives, both the mortal and eternal ones. Because ultimately, it's not about right or wrong. It's about choice. And that is all we have, and all we need.

We shall tell our children that they met at a party.

    It's the kind of movie consciousness and body that makes me high, the near-death, the experience of psychedelic drugs (also think of don Juan), genetic variation, the relationship between mental illness and religion. One of my favorite styles is the alienation of people (to both The existence of consciousness, soul and body doubts (no sense of control or disengagement) and the constant unease and strange absurd discomfort of daily life, the collapse of beliefs and new explorations are suitable for the pioneer's shooting method (experimental experimentation) And the so-called "science fiction" (in recent years, I can continue to explore the mysterious experience of cosmic self-consciousness and soul in combination with emerging technology), I have high orgasms, broken self, reconstructed self, sadness? Human insignificance? Positive existentialism ?Neural realities, mental disorders, and ultimate meaning of suicidal people without suicide

    The fancy visual experience is second, and the focus is on what human beings were before genetic recombination. This movie is quite scary, whether it is a human or a monkey, and whether there is still human nature in the brain. Especially after the male protagonist changed from an ape to a human, the doctor visited him and stuck him at the door. There was only a black shadow in the picture, and his open fingers were especially like the claws of a beast. It was a bit creepy to see in the middle of the night.

Altered States quotes

  • Eddie Jessup: Emily's quite content to go on with this life. She insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. What she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. But I'm not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact, if I don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, I shall go out of my fucking mind. Does that answer your question, Arthur?

    Arthur Rosenberg: What question was that?

    Eddie Jessup: You asked me why I was getting divorced.

    Arthur Rosenberg: Oh, listen, it's your life. I'm sorry I even asked.

  • Eddie Jessup: [Discussing his father's death, and its impact on his thinking] I haven't told anyone this in ten years. I'm telling you now because I think you have a right to know what kind of a nut you might be getting mixed up with here.

    Emily Jessup: Arthur was right. You are a fascinating bastard.
