I take it that this is what Lars von Trier calls the "Catholic" version of the movie, as the original opening features full frontal pornographic imagery of penetrative sex.
@vigtigyou2uber Well gee-aren't you the clever one??!! Spare us the political commentary, dumbass. If you can't understand something like this on an emotional/spiritual/ironic level, your attempt at progressive/atheist intellectual analysis is a complete waste of time. Besides, you know damned well-if you're not a complete moron-that "penetrative sex" is not allowed on YouTube. So it's a Catholic church conspiracy to censor the movie-& deprive you of the full pornographic effect of the original?
@bookguitarguy I think the movie Antichrist should be considered a work of art as a whole, and I think the pornographic scenes are part of that whole. And I do think that Lars Von Trier called the censored version "the catholic version" in a fit of his often seen obscure irony that may offend many people. I do not think it is a conspiracy, I think von Trier said it as a joke. He once insulted every single person from my home country. What did i do? laugh! as should you.
@vigtigyou2uber Fair enough. Sorry for calling you a dumbass. My point was I'd rather see the "Catholic version" than none at all (though I saw the original). IOW, I'm glad it's available, & see no point in whining since YouTube bans the other. Whether we can see his penis/her pussy or not, the emotional content of the scene is the same for those w/any imagination (though virgins might have trouble relating :O). A couple makes love passionately, as their beloved son is falling to his death. Wow.
a serbian film has no soul. the film exists only to shock. antichrist on the other hand, is the only movie that has ever occupied my mind for two weeks straight. i could literally not stop contemplating it.
@RAGIG I agree A Serbian Film was so much more of Camp horror Antichrist frightened because of the emotional response in the audience, it is a powerful film, far beyond a Serbian Film in Depth.
This could be one of the most glorious erotic scenes in the history of modern movies... Sad, brilliant, crude, and full of dark meanings that anticipate the story of the movie; from the rush of an act around which everything seems to be falling onto the ground and breaking apart, through the madness of two people full of remorsement alone in a house in the country, into the insane ending in which "chaos reigns" as the fox said. Perhaps Händel never sounded as sensual as painful before this...
@yosoymiavatar Nice to hear an intelligent comment!! Thanks :O). I'd love to sit around for an hour and discuss this movie with others-or see it in a theatre, to experience the emotional impact on an entire room full of people. Powerful stuff... Some people just miss the subtle ironies completely. Like the fact that the child swept away grief, pain, and despair to get to the window...among others.
OK, what is the real opening music to the movie, is it this video (Lascia ch'io piagana) or is it Dead can dance summoning of the muse? (Look for it in related videos)
@wysiwyg2006 You definitely haven't seen graphic if you thought this as bad. Watch ichi the killer or a serbian film and this movie will be like watching rugrats on a sunday morning
This is a beautiful film. Also, there is really nothing religious about it, it's a psycological thriller and a piece of art. I'm Christian and I'm not offended at all. (No offense, guys. I'm fine with athiests.) :D
This particular scene, is a film on itsself. It is mlindblowing and emotional, because of the contrast between the boy and the parents making love. I can´t wait to see the film.
DE las mejores escenas iniciales que he visto, hermosisima, por cierto habeis quitado la polla de dafoe, esas imagenes son basicas en la introducción, el sexo explícito ya te está diciendo que la pelicula es real
So if you really want to talk about the role of God into this:
This piece oft Art shows the reverse ascension in heaven. You see two people having sex but no child will be born..quite to the opposite a child dies. The fallen angel.
@dazzybabe oh is that so? because I am almost positive the whole point of being christian is to be a good person and to put other before yourself. ever hear of the commandments? the 10 rules that almost every christian lives by, like do not steal, kill, commit adultary, and do not lie? because im sure without those rules people would just do whatever the fuck they want, like those 2 darwinists at columbine
@T16Akatsuki You cite the 10 commandments as an inspiration, yet you live in a country that practices institutionalized murder (death penalty). So the commandments only count, if [insert XYZ here] amirite?
@oMrzubier I'm not trying to force anything. I'm just speaking the truth. It makes me laugh that people believe in this almighty God without any single evidence whatsoever that he exists. I might as well believe in Superman. In fact, yes, yes I believe that Superman and his powers are all real.
@dazzybabe who told you that there is no evidence .................. did you know that scintific facts are mentioned on the holy quran ?! eg. when you thought that the smallest particle was an atom and recently you found out that there are even smaller particles inside of it ...its mentioned in the holy quran !!! another eg. when you found out that sea water and river waters dont mix and that they will always be seperate even if they collide they will remian seperate
@oMrzubier It was also mentioned in sci-fi comics from the 50's and 60's that we'd have what we have now. And what has 'scientific fact' got to do with religion? If God created Adam and Eve, then what about evolution? Also, if we're led to believe that a talking snake was involved in this, are we to just accept this with no questions being asked? The Bible and all related fiction books are just that - Fiction. They're there to teach us morals, and that's fine, but that is ALL.
@dazzybabe ok then judgment day is near ....it was mentoned in the holy quran that arab rulers losing thier might is the first sign of the end of days you will see soon enough .......when the real antichrist shows up
For fuck's sake, the movie barely has anything to do with Christianity besides a few lines. What they should've named it was Pud Full of Blood. Gnarliest film I've seen in a while. Right up there with Julien Donkey-boy.
I'm bored you blindfolded christians posting retarded comments on every single video that you don't like. Please, go away. Internet and P/C's are the devil's anyway...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just what we need.....more post-Christian, anti-life, anti-family nihilism and Godlessness from Europe. Another sick director putting sick fantasies to life. Let this Euro-trash stay where in should...in Europe. America is losing touch with Chrstianity because of this pointless crap.
Watch the movie and criticize later, choir boy. This movie has a deep christian root. The mythology throughout it is actually very religious-based. And there are no offenses to that in my opinion.
My friend USA has lost touch with with humanity.The culture that your country is producing is the end of humanity.Stupid songs, stupid films, fake friendships, drugs to sleep, drugs to wake up,a constant neurotic look.Instead of defending your country's "culture" think outside the box and just for a second think whats wrong with a society that people hate each other so deep & profound.
That goes for Europe also but thank G/d we are not there yet..
I love this intro. I guess Lars von Trier knows the movie "Farinelli". While the castrato Farinelli performs "lascia ch'io pianga" in the movie, you can see pictures that symbolizes his castration.
Von Trier also connects this song with death, sex and human desire. There are some similarities. Watch "Farinelli" if you like this aria - it's very beautiful but tragic as well,
