What the fuck is up with that crazy mom? First, the fucked up asexual external birthing is impossible, so I don’t know what happened to cause this abomination. Second, she would really be willing to kill her own child? She shouldn’t be a mom, she should be studied in a laboratory.
That was a pretty basic routine for a gymnast - I too could do most of what was performed there - but back in the day I was blown away. It's the only scene I recall from the movie. Didn't even realise that she (from the other movie) was there.
Geena Davis deserves praise here for somehow conveying that she's both aroused and scared to death. Some part of her knows that what seems to have happened to Seth is too good to be true.
I also wonder how being cut with a fly affected his perception of time, he probably felt like everything around him was moving really slowly, a brief conversation might've felt like hours.
That is such a good point! I never thought about that. Especially with the coffee date scene with how fast he was talking and moving, and how impatient he was for that drink! Makes sense, very interesting.
No you wouldn't. It wasn't long before his dick fell off, but by that point, he was so hideous and smelly that he never would have gotten a chance to use it again anyway.
I just think how audience of today would react if they face this strange masterpiece of horror. How that reaction could be watching Cronenberg breaking their very well built new society concepts about "mothers are pure love", "only fathers can hurt their children, women wouldn't do that", "only men produce violence", "children never can kill or be killed in a movie", "women can't be killed" Their heads would explode like in that scene of Scanners
