| nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME --Wurdz by Otep Shamaya |
 The OrderSeptember 14, 2003 4:00 a.m. Related Reading I saw The Order tonight. And I was strangely surprised by it...as well as my reaction to it. This is really going to discredit every opinion in film I've ever had, but I have to say that I liked this film. I was glad to have seen it and it is one I would really like to own. I guess I enjoyed it because I went into it with low expectations. I was expecting a shitty vampire movie with hot guys. Like with Stigmata I went in expecting campy demons and instead went into a dark world of religion. Also another thing hit close to home. It's a really good thing I can detach myself from film the way I do, because this one should have made me cry. Heath Ledger looked so much like Jeff in this. Plus he's a priest (Cathloic...) and the girl is an artist..... Anyway, I raised some interesting questions, and got me thinking about things in a new way. I have a feeling this film was either based on a book or a lot was left out of the final cut, either way I got the feeling that there was alot going on that I didn't know about...or rather, wasn't beening told about. Maybe I just love actors and a good performance, maybe that's all I need and I can fill the rest of the blanks in in my head. Really what's the plot but the story that's being told on screen. Maybe it really wasn't meant to tell a really deep story but to act as a catalist for deep questions. It is my belief that the role played by Benno Fürmann (The Hottest man in German Cinema) was that of the Devil, Satan, Lucifier....whatever you want to call him. If this is the case than this is really a new incatation of him and yet when you think about it...He is Exactly the perfect discription, portrayal of the devil. He seemed real. The cliche devil, ugly living in the depths of hell....seems unreal. But a 'man' living on Earth, in Rome no less, dealing to savation to those he sees fit, at the right price. He is beautiful (handsome) and says all the right words. He is Persuavsive and a a deal maker. He is not God....but The Other. He takes the sins of the evil, unforgiven, or unrepentant and gives them salvation.
Yeah...it's really interesting to think of the Sin Eater as the devil. |
