The UltraViolet.
I feel like I’ve watched the same action sequence, shot repeatedly in 25 different ways. One of the most interesting things about it was that even though the plot doesn’t actually proceed smoothly or seem “real” or even “possible”, even though there are big holes and the entire thing is fundamentally ridiculous. Why the hell should it matter,Violet seems to ask. So what if its not feasiable. Its just a story.
In the story there’s humans and hemophages, which is not human
Woman tries to save an innocent boy and also herself. Her survival is tied up with his. If he dies, she will perish also. If she is reborn because someone cared to fix her, he will be reborn also. She is strength. Conversly, he is passive, yet holding something valuable. He is not a lover. He is not her child. He is not her creation. He is not her helper. He is already alive, and she saves him from death by offering him a contagion. He is innocent of something. Innocent of running. They were each used against their will for experiments. Invaded and made useful for someone elses purpose.
Human vs Hemophage
Healthy vs Quarantined
“Normal” vs “Not normal”
Reality vs Dreaming
Obedience vs Criminal
Ultra Calm vs Ultra Violent.
To be human…
What does that mean
To be genetically similar to other humans.
To be limited physically by certain boundaires.
To be capable of enjoying and sustaining a relationship
Brainstorming. To be normal. To be human. To be over and under normal. To excel where others fail, and to fail where they so easily succeed. To be not human. To take the very nearly correct and yet tired preconceptions about what a human being is, what the word means, tie those ideas up with a bow, and give them away for others to hold, and let them be the ideal human they probably invision themselves to be, let them succeed at being that, and let them inhabit that space. Let them be adequately human. Circumscribed on all six sides by the category they’ve been born in. By the word they’ve automatically come to associate with their basic nature. Let them be as human and as normal as a Thursday. And you can just be strange.
