Talk:Enemy (2013 film)

Interpretation of movie added
Slate explains that the opening line of the movie, “Chaos is order yet undeciphered” is from a line from José Saramago’s The Double, the novel on which the movie is based. Slate suggests that the Enemy is "a parable about what it’s like to live under a totalitarian state without knowing it." The central irony is that even though the main character is an expert on the ways of totalitarian governments, doesn’t see the web that’s overtaken the city until he’s already stuck in it. As he says in the lecture, totalitarian states succeed because “they censor any means of individual expression”. When he finds out he has a double, that is exactly what happens: He can never again be an individual. There are no spiders in The Double. But there is this passage from Saramago’s The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, in which he compares the fascist police and their allies to spiders:
 * "There is no lack of spiders’ webs in the world, from some you escape, in others you die. The fugitive will find shelter in a boardinghouse under an assumed name, thinking he is safe, he has no idea that his spider will be the daughter of the landlady … a dedicated nationalist who will regenerate his heart and mind."

Enemy suggests that this tendency to create totalitarian regimes is part of human nature, that it comes from within us. Director Villeneuve said, “Sometimes you have compulsions that you can’t control coming from the subconscious … they are the dictator inside ourselves.”

The description of Adam's expression in the last scene seems wrong to me. Amusement? Seemed more like a resigned expression to me.123.218.226.151 (talk) 15:45, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
