TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

So I got to watch the whole movie last night and I'm STILL haunted by the elements of the story AND ALSO the amazing portrayal and cinematography. That's not to mention the symbolic aspects.

I loved everything about this movie. Everything. I was literally on the edge of my seat and took the storyteller gravely seriously when I realized that the style was a granite hard realism full of purely human insanity, and Max lost his boot. Never mind the lead up or the other aspects of the plot. The stark and unforgiving reality of how things actually function in survival scenarios and the sheer attention to physics and medicine and unequal ontology held me, perhaps somewhat literally,  spellbound. I stopped eating and my friends had to call my name several times to get my attention as the bowl went around. I started to feel like Max, with an alien reality barging in at inconvenient moments.  I haven't had a movie do this to me for a very, very long time.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.
