REOPENING – Upstream Color (film)

OHH wow, I just finished watching "upstream color" and I still feel like I've come back from a long dream that refuses to be fully interpreted, the film doesn't give me a tidy story as it throws me into a whirlpool : bodies being reshaped/memories shattering and merging...as if theres some parasitic cosmic thing thru humans/animals/plants without acknowledging any stable "I"

"I have to apologize I was born with a disfigurement where my head is made of the same material as the sun" which is a paradox at the same time bcuz no one is at the center rather theres is a self-replicating system a structure that operates thru our bodies

ggoshh! that was so trippy exactly my fav kind of movies!! it totally scrambles my brain but somehow still fits when I think about the plot at the same time lol

This film really makes "reopening the crypt" feel like the job of the parasite and that whole loop between humans/pigs and everyth around them its like someth keeps digging up what was supposed to stay burried in the body and in the memory: 0ld hurt/past manipulation/all the way someone once took over your will...and it all leaks back into now instead of staying done

And yeah the world just ends up feeling like this messed-up ruins site full of stolen experiences and broken memos and every time the parasite jumps from one life to another its like the [crypt] cracks open again;stuff I thoughts the characters had already moved past just comes back wearing different mask and quietly changes how they feel and how they connect to each other and how they move thru time, to the point where I found myself completely L0st in the last minutes of the film
