I believe the article about this movie is a bit misleading. The movie is not just about a murder or the changes the main character goes through. It is also about the seven deadly sins. The disjointed way in which the film is shot and presented makes it hard to follow the story but you meet up with each of the different types of sins such as gluttony (the woman who ate the donuts), greed, vanity, avarice, and so forth. There are also misleading statements made about the film. The sentence where Ig goes to the bar is incorrect. The reporters/press followed him to the bar. He did not goad them in to doing anything. Ig stated simply said "Why don't you fight each other and whoever is the winner I'll give an exclusive interview to". This isn't goading anyone into anything. It is the reporter's greed for that exclusive interview that makes them fight each other and is what makes the female reporter say to Ig "Are we worthy yet?". So both adulation and greed for the interview prevail. Ig also doesn't "make" the bartender burn down his bar. Ig actually says the exact opposite to the bartender. Ig tells him not to burn down the bar but the bartender insists that it is a good idea and does it anyway. However, no one ever comes out of the burning bar. So it can, therefore, be presumed that everyone in the bar perished which is weird since the bartender's idea was to burn it down to collect the insurance money. The horns bring out the worst in everyone. Usually in a sexual way (doctor and nurse, naked man in bar, etc...) which means we are dealing with the most primal instincts. I also feel that the film was attempting to put Satan in a different light and that the transformation into a demon didn't actually affect Ig or how Ig felt or acted but simply showed that outwards appearances have nothing to do with the inner person. Which would mean that Satan is only considered to be evil because that is what we have been taught to believe but - if Satan is like Ig - It could simply be because no one is willing to give Satan the chance to be good. He is evil simply because he is evil and no matter how much logic is applied nor evidence to the contrary applied - he is just evil. Because that is what everyone wants him to be. Sort of a scape goat for all of our ills.66.196.239.162 (talk) 21:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He drives a AMC Gremlin.

[edit]

What? NO mention of that? A hipster driving one of those is ultimate black comedy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:4101:4167:40AE:1F73:64E6:AD1 (talk) 19:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
