I think a lot about the relationship I have with my own inner demons. It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic.
Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape the parts of myself that scare me. That I can try and run from them but they are still part of me and I can run and run but eventually I’ll meet that part of myself again, even if only for a moment.
Dancing, morphing, running, purging. Again and again, back with myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful to me because it’s mine and I’ve learned to handle it. I am the conductor of my own symphony. I am every actor in the plays that are my art and my life. No matter how scary the question, the answers are inside of me. Essential, inextricable parts of what makes me me. I save myself by keeping going. I am the whole me, I am strong, and I am up for the challenge. Happy Halloween. https://t.co/2MF1XlUp4C
With that said, I won’t deny their influence on the genre…and this isn’t an indictment of anyone who loves those movies. I would just like to see one list from a major publication that doesn’t include them in their top 20.
People can separate the art from the artist when a movie is presented as something refined & pseudo-intellectual. That and they feel like horror movies made by people who don’t actually love, let alone like horror movies. The cinematic equivalent of “she’s not like other girls”
@bloodylikeabody Okay thank you. How/whyyyyy did they not even place them in the top!? I have to assume they were afraid of Leatherface being trademarked?
