Spider

Despite its very unhurried storytelling, the film does not feel boring, and at the same time it is very interesting!!! He definitely deserves a four for at least the dramatic plot twist at the end !!!

A spider in the web of self-disintegration

David Cronenberg's Spider is a rare case where a film consists almost entirely of a distorted perception of the main character, but it becomes clear even before the middle and, most importantly, does not lose its charm at all. This is the kind of film that can be described by the time of the year in order to fully convey its mood. The kind of movie that is so disarming in its simplicity and quality that you don't even know what to say about it, but I'll try. I must try.

The devil knows what to write, that's serious. It's a good, high-quality movie, atmospheric, beautiful, with a strong script, but I have no idea what to say about it. It's like you want to untie a knot, but you don't know which loop to start with. Similarly, the main character is trying to unravel the story of his own disintegration, distorted by the perception of his sick mind. He is in a state of chronic, confused despair, into which he drove himself as a child, becoming then a hostage of the Oedipus complex. A small, innocent event triggered processes in his head that divided his life into Before and After. And trying to figure it out, he confuses both himself and us, but the answers are already visible at the beginning, when problems could still have been avoided. Together with the hero, we wander through the cold, autumn streets of his city.. or his mind. Where life is almost gone, making way for the coming winter cold.. or the soul-emptying madness. At the same time, the view from the outside is impartial, he does not blame anyone, but the reasons are visible to the naked eye. No one is demonized here, but the fear of such a life arises by itself. But he doesn't scare, he protects. I do not know, I am trying to understand exactly how I perceive this film, but even the stream of consciousness does not bring the answer to the shore. Well, then let this draft be washed ashore, just as the main character was thrown onto the sidelines of madness. Maybe the answer will come later.

But don't think about it, it's not a bad movie, but I still have nothing to say about it. Maybe you're better at untangling knots, even if they're as simple as this one.
