“Drawing as much on David Lynch and Apocalypse Now as action films past, Day of Reckoning is suffused with dream logic and pulsing light effects that hypnotize and seduce even as blasts of splatter-punk gore jolt us awake. This push-pull effect—the ambivalence of being both sucked into and horrified by what we see—lies at the crux of the film’s “meta” exploration of primal violence, its dangerous allure, and the uneasy relationship it has with the action genre.” :: https://screenanarchy.com/2021/01/the-most-complete-fighter-the-films-of-scott-adkins-ranked-gallery.html

“Bush argues that Goths’ success in aging has a lot to do with their ability to juggle opposing, seemingly paradoxical energies. Take Goths’ emotional intensity: While off-putting to some, Goths’ willingness to harness dark feelings such as despair, gloom and hopelessness, rather than repress them, can prove healthier in the long run, Bush says.

“Mas, se é certo que a obra e o escritor, como você disse, tendem a se perpetuar, também é certo que no fim, através do tempo, a obra viajará irremedialmente sozinha na imensidão. E um dia a obra morre, como morrem todas as coisas, como se extinguirão o Sol e a Terra, o sistema solar e a galáxia, e a mais recôndita memória dos homens.” :: https://revistacult.uol.com.br/home/escrita-da-ausencia/
