Response to CORPUS ATOMICUS

This is an really inspiring article.

 

The most aspiring sentence is this:

” bodies aren’t ever just obvious bodies, just as simplistic beheadings may not remove the only seat of intelligence.”

The article demonstrated and debated this topic through the analysis of the horror movies. This insight is really interesting.The author also discussed that there are two kinds of horror : One is spatially bounded set of operations which play withwhat we know about a body’s limits and goes beyond them yet maintains the coherency of that body; 

It brings alien territories into play across a familiar body. But there is a second kind, which is the opening upon to the unknown, not just the establishmentof a new physical body or a disruption of an existing body.This second kind of horror places a body into a milieu that is much more temporally complex. Though there are two kinds of horror movies but I think they indeed share the same principle: The most horrible moment often happens between what we know, what we don’t know and what we possibly to know. I think this is quite true. So horrible feeling or should I say frighten is not that simple elements but more complex of the objects and regime of interactions .

This also remind me of the movie <Under the Skin>. I think the most frightening part of the movie is when the man going down until water submerged him. Also the evironment and music helped to create the horrific atmosphere. But when I dig deep into asking myself why is so frightening I found it’s because we know it’s a dangerous environment and something bad is happening but we still don’t know yet what exactly will happen after the water submerge the man. Will he die? or will he varied to another creature? These uncertain questions make me nervous and afraid .
