The Unborn
Posted: November 3rd, 2008 | Author: miconian | Filed under: Movies | CommentsThe point of this movie is to provide a cathartic experience that will enable viewers to process their feelings of guilt and fear about abortion. At a deeper level, it’s about processing our innate (though often quashed) understanding of the connection between birth and death.
Yes, there’s nothing about abortion in the trailer, and there probably isn’t much about it in the movie, either. But that’s the way of things… you can’t touch someone’s true feelings on a hotly debated topic without abstracting it away to the point where it’s possible to deal with the primal as separate from the political.
