What the fuck did I just watch
naked lunch
BENWAY!
Burroughs biography unironicallyThose bugs with anus tails were allegories for his homosexualityand when he killed his wife twice it references how his writing career started due to that experienceit's just that Cronenberg made it weird
Read the book, Its amazing he was not hung for writing that back in the day. Like, you know you are a word smith when you can write something that fucked up and people celibrate you for it.
Bump
Peak kino.

>>215475383The book isn't like the film at all. The movie is more like a W.S. Burroughs biopic which incorporates elements from a handful of his works, Naked Lunch being one of them.
>>215474100Absolute kino
>>215476213I dont get it
>useless, rhetorical questiongrow up
>>215474100The movie mogs the book hard.
>>215474100There's a secret with other life forms on Earth, like bugs. Bugs themselves can go to heaven and are a separate life force from people.
>>215477146Bugs can't have souls, they are the most souless living creatures.
>>215477434Wrong, they have a form that is in the garden of eden. So when they enter the kingdom of heaven they can roam free.The problem with freedom is god doesn't want them to float off the expanding flat plain, so he introduces other forms to control them like a giant Venus flytrap with the soul of a female incarnate.
They said this book was unadaptable but then we got an excellent adaptation
