Quoted By:
I think we need to talk about Corporate Kane, and more exactly how much of an underrated kino it is.
It's a genius gimmick, that which the obese smarks watching wrestling could never understand, just ponder it, the demon becoming a business man, wearing a suit, it's a genius social commentary akin to a Dostoevsky novel.
It's a statement on the death of noble ideals, subjugated by the capitalism of the modern world, to the point where even the untamed mythical like demon can be bought for money, it reminds me of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, though I can see how people might see similarities with the manifestos of Ted Kaczynski and Karl Marx.
There's also the very obvious comparison to American Psycho by Brett Ellis, with the blunt anti materialist message,the sharp contrast of the monster wearing a clean designer suit, but I also see a bit of a Leon Czgolgosz in the performance.
I also feel some Cormac McCartthy influences in the gimmick, the cynical, almost nihilistic even, nature of it, the implication that evil is simply a natural part of life that we must live with, that even something so inhuman and evil is simply another cog in the corporate machine that is modern society.
I could go on, but I think I made myself clear by now. You need a fairly high IQ to understand the sheer brilliance of Corporate Kane
