This is the album artwork form my English project titled Days of Noise.
I'm going to be writing a noise song every week for 19 weeks.
I'm on week four right now.

The last of the sticker photos.

I found some old sticker pictures that I took during the summer. The film was super expired so they came out all cool looking.

Fuck I love pyramid studs. When I get some winter boots I'm going to try to put a shit load on them. Also that crystal ring is pretty cool. I've been obsessed with black and silver recently.

Also, fuck people who wear those stupid plastic pyramid studs that come in crazy neon colours like pink and green and yellow and shit (dark plastic pyramid studs are acceptable, like black and navy blue and pseudo-metal). Real pyramid studs are made of metal, because they are metal.

GOD'S APARTMENT

- Who are you?

God.

- Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

- Which religion is correct?

I wouldn't know, I'm not religious.

- Oh

*God lights a cigarette*

- Well, what is the difference between life and death?

There is no difference.

- Then why should I not kill myself?

Because it wouldn't make a difference.

*pause*

- You smoke?

Yes.

- Why?

It gets stressful.

- Oh.

*pause*

- I never really pictured you living in an apartment.

It's all I require. I live alone.

- Don't you get lonely?

I have never met another God. I cannot crave what I haven't experienced.

- Oh. Yeah.

*pause. God puts out his cigarette.*

- Well, what do you do for fun?

I like going fishing. When I can find the time...

- Why do you put up with us?

Even I need a purpose. What else can I do?

- Nothing. No one can really do anything anymore.

Sorry (to whoever even reads this) that I haven't updated in a while. I had a bad reaction to some cool drugs and have been collecting myself in the past few days. Well, I guess it's been a week now.

I saw Antichrist for the second time tonight and I think I understand it now. Well, at least more.
Here's my interpretation of the film:

[Spoiler alert]

The whole "Chaos Reigns" thing and "Nature is Satan's Church." I think one of the movies themes (apart from the obvious theme of misogyny) is how nature and the universe are chaotic and that order and structure are things that humans invented to try and make sense of the chaos. Or at least this is what "She" believes. This makes "Her" fear of nature more understandable, as it is more a fear of chaos.

I don't believe that the film has a misogynist viewpoint or supports misogyny.

First of all, the producer was a female (Meta Louise Foldager), and many women were involved with the film and worked very closely with Von Trier, including the misogyny researcher. Charlotte Gainsbourg (who played Her) said she was very proud to have been a part of it.

Secondly, everyone seems to forget the prologue of the movie (probably because they're all freaking out over the gore):

[SUPER SPOILER ALERT (highlight to reveal)]

"He" is greeted by hundreds of faceless women, who we assume were victims of misogynistic violence (especially witch burnings). These women were freed from their unjust deaths, because He (who is supposed to represent humanity, or "man") murdered She (who is supposed to represent misogyny). She is unknowingly the epitome of what 16th century misogynists believed women to be: Satanic and inherently evil. When she is killed, the misogyny has been overcome. It's an odd metaphor though, it's sort of like killing a cancer patient to symbolically show the end of cancer.


In conclusion: If this film were directed and written by a woman it would be considered a great piece of feminist cinema, but it was written and directed by Lars Von Trier and is therefore considered a misogynist piece of crap. I suggest you go see this film.

If you're still hesitant about the explicitness, you should see it at least watch the first part for the beautiful cinematography then leave shortly after "He" comes down from the attic.

Oh, and here are some stills:
