Review of The Intruder (2019) by Mauro_Lanari — 22 Dec 2019
(Mauro Lanari).
Dennis Quaid's Jack Torrance is useful for understanding a silliness of Kubrick's philosophy: anti-militarist, pacifist, however convinced that bellicism is a masculine characteristic (the sniper woman in "FMJ" would require a separate analysis). A pre-#metoo feminism that Deon Taylor could have amended with this film, and instead he relaunches the PC by attributing the toxic violence to a straight white man who attacks an innocuous (?) black couple. I would have preferred the parasitic "second chance" of the bad guy with ax, knife and rifle to be shown in its analogy with the lifestyle of the two protagonists.
