re:mote voices

time of the wolf - i meant to mention in my review of this film about how while there no mention of the legend the name of the film came from there were a couple of references to other things. a couple of people mention the concept of the just - breathless tones, describing people who are incredibly important and influential, the suggestion that there are only ever 36 just, and that if even one of them were to die disaster would occur. this would seem to create a subtext as to the disaster which has caused the circumstances which the film is set against. another curious idea was of the brothers of fire - men who were sacrificing themselves in flame to save the world - each sacrifice repairing a degree of damage. the idea of the just and the numberic significance of 36 reminded me of foucault's pendulum - there must have been some parallel in there - but then there must be parallels between everything and foucault's pendulum given how dense it was in conspiracy and mystic organisation.
