Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
In this video, I break down and analyze the Japanese horror film Cure. In the analysis, I break down the film utilizing the ideas of various different philosophers such as Martin Heidigger, Charles Taylor, and Mikhail Bakhtin.Through these thinkers, I make the argument that the film is pushing the audience toward a message that blends the boundary between the premodern and modern selves through a critique of modernism, while further opting to show the result of the true degradation of the self.
