“Composite things are like dreams, fantasies, bubbles, thoughts. Like a dewdrop and a flash of lightning. A new dress and a burning tire. Grains of sand and sinking ships. A shadow of a statue and an entry in a diary. A brain tumor and an ice cream sundae. They are thus to be regarded.” –The Kid, Aeon Flux “Chronophasia”
I’m re-experiencing Aeon Flux. Not that uninteresting movie attempt. The animated series that appeared on MTV. I never saw the movie. I couldn’t see Charlize Theron adding any kind of deepness to the Aeon character or story.
From what I gather in this Peter Chung(Aeon Flux’s creator) interview via Monican Spies, the movie fell far from the original series. Again, no big surprise.
Above is an altered version of the Diamond Sutra that appeared in the series episode “Chronosphasia.” I didn’t know it was from the Diamond Sutra til I watched the commentary. I only knew that I liked the hell out of what I heard.
