Film Club #1 - Enemy

[Excited Penguin]

Well, let me start by saying I'm really shit at breaking down a movie and the subtle metaphors that might be at play under the surface.

I pretty much agree with Heat's take though (that did add a lot of interesting new angles and explanations to things) and I thought it was a decent 2 hour long exercise in mindfuckery.

What the hell was the group at the start of the movie meant to be though? And the security guard saying he 'needed to go back'.


What a strange movie. I may need to rewatch at some point, and read on some theories. This one made me raise an eyebrow (apparently it's all about a race of spiders taking over humanity?) http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014...denis.html

Thanks a lot for linking to that article. I agree with it.

I find the allusion to totalitarianism fascinating.
