Frasi di David Cronenberg

David Paul Cronenberg è un regista, sceneggiatore, attore, produttore cinematografico, direttore della fotografia, montatore e scrittore canadese. È uno dei pochi esponenti nonché pioniere del genere cinematografico spesso indicato come body horror, che esplora il terrore dell'uomo di fronte alla mutazione del corpo, all'infezione e contaminazione della carne, intrecciando l'elemento psicologico della storia con quello fisico.

Nella prima metà della sua carriera Cronenberg ha esplorato questi temi soprattutto attraverso l'horror e la fantascienza, sebbene i suoi lavori si siano successivamente spinti al di là di questi generi approdando anche al noir.

David Cronenberg: Frasi in inglese

“Technology has really taken over evolution. We’ve seized control of evolution ourselves without really quite being conscious of it. It’s no longer the environment that affects change in the human body, it’s our minds, it’s our concepts, our technology that are doing that.”

Videodrome commentary track
Contesto: Technology isn’t really effective, it doesn’t really expose its true meaning, I feel, until it has been incorporated into the human body. And most of it does, in some way or another. Electronics. People wear glasses. They wear hearing aids that are really little computers. They wear pacemakers. They have their intestines modified. It’s really quite incredible what we’ve been able to do to the human body and really take it some place that evolution on its own could not take it. Technology has really taken over evolution. We’ve seized control of evolution ourselves without really quite being conscious of it. It’s no longer the environment that affects change in the human body, it’s our minds, it’s our concepts, our technology that are doing that.

“We are confused and bemused, and think that it’s a momentary delusion that will soon dissipate, leaving our lives to continue as they were.”
