This is such a brilliant, brilliant piece! And I agree, there are so many angles here, so much food for thought, that this truly is work in progress. But what excellent work.
Sage Hana, on this platform, frequently cites this movie as the most terrifying movie of all time. I think I can see why after reading your excellent piece.
I was pregnant with my first child in 1968 and I went to see this movie. It certainly made an impression. It was so evil. Then in 1973/74 while pregnant with my second child ,The Exorcist came out and I, still being an immature person in my 20s, went to see that one. Now that I see evil is everywhere I have no need to go to movies to experience evil.

Great and thoughtful writing, I’m going to have to watch the movie now. Sounds like a perfect correlation to the current situation.
The fog of deception lifts though, and soon all with see the master behind the curtain... lol.
Thanks Thorsteinn for directing me to this great piece.
Cheers Craig.
What an apropos analogy, thank you!
