Re: Spiritual Horror
While christians still have the numbers/influence to cause outrage, one wanders exactly what is it that can be considered "too blasphemous/offensive" in this day and age, especially for a movie like that one... | |||||||||||

Re: Spiritual Horror
The poems mentioned earlier remind me of one of my favorites, from Wordsworth:
A slumber did my spirit seal; I had no human fears: She seemed a thing that could not feel The touch of earthly years No motion has she now, no force; She neither hears nor sees; Rolled round in earth's diurnal course, With rocks, and stones, and trees. |

Re: Spiritual Horror
It really isn't that bad for today's standards, you can find it easily on youtube if you search "The Devils rape of Christ" along with other deleted stuff. But it might be partly that people at Warner Bros hold a grudge against Ken Russell or somebody easily offended is giving the permissions. | |||||||||||

Re: Spiritual Horror
I seem to recall an interview with King in which he said that when he replied to Kubrick something in the affirmative or something along those lines Kubrick simply hung up. | |||||||||||

Re: Spiritual Horror
Kubrick took King's warm story of redemption and turned it into a cold nightmare.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Hanns Heinz Ewers is a book people looking for spiritual horror need to seek out. Alraune is considered to be his finest novel, but its predecessor is more powerful. |

Re: Spiritual Horror
@ Strength
I can imagine you have a strong distaste for the poststructuralist "school" of thought which developed mostly from certain reinterpretations of both Hegel and Nietzsche, especially the former. I know I certainly did for a long time. There's really not much to say once you ignore all conceptual distinctions. Sorry, it's a bit easier for me to approach this subject from a philosophical standpoint. | |||||||||||
