Deciphering. TW, careful. These pages are darker, than usual

Deciphering, pages 58-61

Though Miles is a changed man now, I believe, the burden of guilt will never leave him. While he still was a fierce Demon Prosecutor there were lots of people he brought to “guilty” verdict and he can’t be sure all of them weren’t falsely accused. And how many innocent people have died being brought to death convict because of him. Oh, and elevators. And more death. At least the thoughts about it.

I’ve told you on previous pages we’ll see the trauma. Yeah, it’s severe. And surreal. But I felt I want to draw it this way.  Yes, it’s debatable whether Miles was suicidal or not, and for a long time I thought he wasn’t... until I’ve reconsidered everything happened to him. He might at least have such thoughts. “Miles Edgeworth chooses death” and disappearance for a year meant something, it was not a joke or being dramatic. He is too serious to be theatrical, but also too stoic to admit anything aloud (that’s why I’ve decided to show his thoughts and feelings only visually). But he also is a person with remarkably strong will. And he learned how to live with his guilt to help other people. And to not repeat his past mistakes. His blind belief in justice was such a clear projection of him seeking punishment for himself as Miles thought he was his father’s murderer, I don’t understand, why we don’t speak more about it. He was so brutal to others as he was brutal to himself. And who taught him to be kinder, ey? Kinder to others and kinder to himself? No, I have no clue :)

But it’s a long journey to treat yourself kindly enough. Miles is still ruthless to himself, as you’ll see later.        

And yeah, I love the contrast between Edgeworth softly looking at Wright and the nightmarish hell he is surrounded with.  Deciphering - a story about two friends solving a murder case and finding out a true nature of their relationship. Based on Ace Attorney.

Recently Viewed: Hell of the Living Dead

Well, I suppose I have nobody to blame but myself. I knew what I was getting into when I decided to watch Hell of the Living Dead. After all, director Bruno Mattei (the man of a thousand aliases; this particular production, for example, credits him as “Vincent Dawn”) wasn’t exactly known as a purveyor of prestige cinema. Nor, for that matter, was his screenwriter, Claudio Fragasso (responsible for such “gems” as Troll 2). Naturally, I went in expecting a typical Italian zombie flick: sleazy, gory, and unapologetically schlocky.

I was not, however, remotely prepared to be bombarded with images of actual human corpses. In an apparent effort to minimize the budget, the film incorporates elements of the mondo genre—a sensationalistic style of “documentary” (and I use that term charitably) that explores “exotic” foreign cultures, with an emphasis on shocking violence and sexual taboos. Thus, "repurposed" stock footage depicting authentic tribal funeral ceremonies, political unrest in third world countries, and the ritualistic slaughter of animals is awkwardly spliced into the action, giving the impression that our protagonists have inadvertently wandered into a National Geographic television special.

This grotesque exploitation masquerading as “social commentary” (despite seemingly sympathizing with victims of colonialism and imperialism, Mattei nevertheless portrays them as primitive savages) might have been somewhat forgivable if the rest of the movie was otherwise entertaining; unfortunately, it’s just a miserable slog. I’m not averse to cynicism and moral ambiguity on principle, but in this specific case, the irredeemably despicable characters and utterly nihilistic themes are simply off-putting and unappealing. Even the soundtrack, allegedly composed by the usually dependable prog rock group Goblin—in reality, the score was cannibalized from various sources (much like the visuals), which explains why the music resembles the final gasp of a dying synthesizer—is flaccid, inert, and uninspired. Hell of the Living Dead is a thoroughly unenjoyable experience, and I regret watching it; what an insufferable waste of time!
