>>15233114>That's not a metaphor at all. The sword was basically skofnung, a legendary sword in norse mythologyEggers last movie was full of those same element, with an homo erotic twist on top, the lighthouse was according to himself phallic imagery in the film.
Are you really that dense? Do you think it was added into the movies and in that way, just accidental? That Eggers just found the sword cool?
>Very weird assumption and out of place implication considering that Amleth makes two babies later in the filmIt is not literal, much like Pattinson character holds Dafoe character in a leash, it's meant to represent power and the withdrawal of it onto him, that is symbolism.
>That's not a symbolism on masculinity, that was an implication that Amleth's dad could not get it up.A symbol is a thing that represents another thing, Amleth's dad wound represents his impotency something directly tied to masculinity
>That's just his character arc, do you even know what symbolism is?Amleth is a symbol of death and the savagage masculinity while Olga is a symbol of life and the civilizing feminity, they are symbols.
For fuck sake, they even color coded them.
