Never sleeping again. Ever.
I'm working on a post about sexuality in the 1973 film The Exorcist, but it's only in the beginning stages so this is going to be a quick post. After watching it for the second time, I have some weird questions that probably won't even be answered and have little to do with sexuality. Maybe it's one of those movies I just won't ever "get".
-what the hell happened to Captain Howdy?
-are there people who actually, genuinely, truely believe in god and/or satan? Without a shred of doubt? I'm kind of fascinated by this possibility. And scared.
-are we not supposed to notice the hierarchy of individuals that control Regan's life more than satan himself? priests, doctors, adults, men, mother. You best believe I'm coming back to this one.
-what does the stone thing and pendant have to do with anything?
-medical=sexual, satanic possession=sexual, more assault type interactions than sexual
-due to the hierarchies in place?
-because she was a child?
-am I the only one who sees the needle and thinks "penis?" and "rape!!!"?
-every identity is a performance. more on that later, too.
Not entirely sure why I'm posting this, it's just notes made before any real work gets done. But it's late, I'm tired and still a little shit terrified. So here you go, internet.
