body and mind

I just wanted to make a point, that I think I didn t read anywhere else on this board.

Among the many and fascinating meanings and interpretations this film had for me, one was the lack of connection to our bodily selves. The guy loses at once everything that is connected to his body: his senses, his sexual delight, pain and, ultimately, death. I find it an interesting parallel to our society which avoids our bodies, considering them as a burden, or as something to be fixed and surpassed. In the end, the lack of connection to our own body, is the lack of connection to ourselves; and the one can't be complete without the other.
