The Exterminating Angel Is One Of The Greatest Films I've Ever Seen

The Exterminating Angel was a great watch, beautiful, serene, with some flowing moments that were captured quite vividly on the screen. Occasionally, some interesting moments in the human condition

The movie begins with a formal dinner party, the servants leaving their posts, one by one, as the party progresses into the night, the hosts grow restless, wondering why there is no attempt to go home. As the morning begins, as the servant brings forward breakfast, the guests cannot leave the room, nor can the hosts themselves.

The beauty of the horror film influenced many contemporary horror films, with the social commentary, the silent, cinematography, and the ever-increasing tension. Although, as a surrealist film, it has some beautiful allegories and some interesting moments. Such as the bear chasing the sheep, the dead bodies hand creeping along the carpet, La Valkiria throwing a brick through a window,, a cliff and an eagle, a flock of sheep entering a church in single file, gunshots, and the ever-deepening complexity of the room they are stuck in.

There are times when logic and reason cannot save the mystery behind the room, even the doctor cannot explain why neither can any of the other guests.

Overall, a very good, and much recommended watch.

Computers get smarter, cars, trains, and technology grow more sentient and more powerful. AI is beginning to outgrow creativity. Image AI like Mid journey is already showing steady potential for replacing creative jobs. Through all of this, humanity itself is declining. And this is what Snow Crash is trying to represent through the down-to-earth, gritty description, creativity across a universal spectrum, and a wonderful plethora of concepts explored through a satirical tone of voice. Gone are the past explorations of humanity underneath twisted, evolved, and cold, human nature that grew warped underneath the infinitely growing world and overpopulation. Movies like Soylent Green, Brazil, and Blade Runner. This book is a cyberpunk, dystopian romp through America and a critical examination of what we needed most. Snow Crash is exciting and creative.

A piece of cardboard

My lawyer, a poor, cheap man who wore little and knew little, knocked on the door of my run-down apartment with a forlorn expression slicked across his plasticine face. "Are you Mr. Frauk?" He pulled out a card, offered his rubber-gloved hands, but I refused. He offered it again, but I pushed it away and smiled in false respect. "Mr. Frauk?", the lawyer repeated in his ancient German accent. "Frank", I paused, and beckoned him in, "My name is Frank. What is this about?" "Mr... Frauk", his lips curled as he grimaced to pronounce my name," Frauk, Frank, Frauk... Nonetheless, I'm here because of a recent uncle of your kin. If I remember him properly, his name is Drew Trijark." "Trark", I repeated, but in a different accent, mocking him somewhat. "Trark, Trijark, Trark... But what I wanted to talk to you about is his inheritance", my lawyer paused as if in sadness and contemplation, turned away, hiding his ...
