Just Saw It And........


It kept me enthralled, interested, disturbed and on the edge of my seat till the end.

Was Javier the devil who was always looking for an inspiration therefore kept getting a new wife time after time after time and repeating the process baby and all???

And the glass stone?

"Was Javier the devil . . ."

He was actually supposed to represent God. If anything, humanity is the devil in this movie.

Thats definitely an interesting interpretation.

I had him as just a dumb fag.

How was he?

I don't think its about religion at all. It's about all consuming passion of a creator.
Just badly done...

I think it’s interesting that you think the god character represents the devil. God in much of the Bible is really oblivious, angry and obsessed with creation. A lot like Dr. Frankenstein who in a frenzy created life and then abandoned it when he realized how ugly it was and what he’d unleashed upon the world. In the Bible the devil’s great crime was challenging God, not cruelty to man. The whole movie is based on the Bible’s tale of god, man and Mother Earth.
