marianne [singing]:

I never told you I’d love you all my life. Oh my love, you never swore to adore me all your life. We never made promises like that, knowing me knowing you. We never thought we ever would be caught by love fickle as we were. And yet, and yet, step by step, without a word between us, bit by bit, feelings slipped between our merry mingle bodies and words of love rose to our naked lips. Bit by bit lots of words of love began to mingle gently with our kisses. How many words of love? I never would have thought I’d always want you. Oh my love, we never would have thought we two could live together and not get bored. Wake up every morning and be just as surprised to be just as happy in the same bed, desire nothing more than that oh so banal pleasure of feeling so good to be together. And yet, and yet, step by step without a word between us, bit by bit our feelings bound us tight in spite of ourselves, bound us tight forever Feelings stronger than any words of love known or unknown. Feelings so wild and so strong. Feelings we never thought were possible before. Don’t ever promise to adore me all your life. Let’s not make promises like that knowing me knowing you. Let’s keep the feeling that this love of ours, this love of ours, will be short and sweet.

“She then crushes his genitals with a block of wood, the pain driving him unconscious. While he is still unconscious, She masturbates him until he orgasms, ejaculating blood onto her shirt and face. She then drills a hole through his calf, and bolts a heavy grindstone to his leg. She flees outside, leaving him unconscious in the shed, throwing the wrench she used to tighten the millstone underneath the cabin.”

Wikipedia summary of “Antichrist” (via joshdivision)

“It’s long been recognized that in another of my favourite films,
The Sixth Sense, the director deliberately used the color red in
scenes of particular significance he wanted to signpost. Secretary
director Steven Shainberg also makes interesting use of colours,
particularly purple, although his meaning isn’t always clear even
after listening the the audio commentary.

First there’s the overwhelming use of purple for Lee. Her bedroom is
an unrelieved, distracting floor-to-ceiling purple. In her first
interview with Mr Grey she wears not only that striking purple raincape,
but her headband, blouse, skirt and even her rainboots are purple.
Our first glimpse of her is standing outside the mental hospital with
a purple suitcase, wearing a purple sweater. During her first couple
of weeks on the job, she’s usually seen in purple blouses.

This all changes the day she gets that first spanking, when she
wears a black skirt with a white polka dot blouse. Just as her
relationship with Grey becomes extremely unconventional, the clothes
she wears to work become more muted and traditional. In the spreader
bar and saddle/carrot scenes, she’s dressed in a white blouse and
black skirt. When she drops her cutting aids in the pond, she’s in
an oatmeal tweed skirt and an ivory blouse. During the hilarious
“Sorry about the typo” scene, she’s wearing a white blouse, conservative
grey suit, and even pearls. All that purple in her wardrobe
has disappeared; it’s almost as though she’s playing another role
within a role, a proper secretary right out of Central Casting.

When Edward stops spanking her and she’s desperately trying to provoke
him into renewing their former relationship, she shows up wearing
polka dots again, as if trying to remind him of that first session.
And Edward does indeed reference Mr Garvey for her/us, the recipient
of the first indelible “animal captivity” letter. I think my favourite
of her many white blouses is the pretty poet style blouse she’s wearing
when in the unpretty act of addressing the dead worm letter to Mr Grey.

Other possibly significant ‘purple’ sightings: Lee’s drinking straw
when she’s listening to the tape at the restaurant, her swimsuit and
bathrobe in the gruesome tea kettle scene. The peas and potatoes scene
offers a purple plate, napkin and placemat, and Maggie is even drinking
grape juice. Her sister is wearing a striped sweater with three shades
of purple, and Mr Grey, suavely issuing his ice cream edict, is wearing
a purple tie.

When Edward receives the worm letter and summons her, suddenly the
purple blouse is back, but with the addition of the pearls, as though
this new, confident Lee is a hybrid of the two previous extremes.

The last purple in the film is in the final shot, the flowers behind
Lee as she stares challengingly into the camera.”
