Antichrist… my thoughts will be a spoiler

Upon attending this film, I was expecting a psychological space in which a couple goes together to survive some sort of tragedy. In this realm that they experience together would be almost romantic in the sense that they drag each other to hell and yet their feelings are authentic. Briefly, the film was about this couple whom loses their son. This tragedy renders the woman incapable to carry on with her daily life. Her husband, being a therapist, tries to help her work through this difficult time. He finds out what her fears are and then they go to this space to work through her fears to get her anxiety and panic to subside. This space is where her demonic ways thrive and the rest of the film is her husband discovering who she is or who she has become. Although, the film was visually stimulating, I was disappointed in the film for several reasons. I feel that Lars Von Trier did not trust his viewer on an intellectual level and that we needed explicit visual to understand the depths of this kind of dark. The visual exploitation was of a thriller's caliber and seemed to be a copout for resolving the film in this beautiful atmospheric, psychological space he had set up in the beginning. The grotesque became more of a gut-wrenching experience and completely jeopardized the surreal potential that the concept of the film had. In theory, this was an intense story and could have absolutely been resolved at the volition in which the film began. I have heard that the first half was supposed to be when man is in control (rational, logical, urban space) and the second half when the woman is in control (irrational, satanic, natural space) and that seems to hold true. This film is undeniably created from a chauvinistic mind space. Woman is the source of evil. She seemed to constantly be using sex in order to gain power and as a distraction tactic. At one point she says "a crying woman is a scheming woman" and at this point the viewer thinks back throughout the film to all the times she was crying and the things she would say were lies. These were her manipulative ways that makes you think that she was just as evil in her daily life, but disguising and suppressing these ways. The thought that we all have evil tendencies and the possibility that we could be suppressing them on a daily basis because we scare ourselves is the most terrifying concept in this film.
