A plot

Fig. 18 Rosemary’s Baby has a very impressive dream sequence. Roman Polansky invokes the collective unconscious by encoding sensory, memory, and emotion in his art. The symbolic neckace & good-luck charm, it’s strange smell, Dr. Sarpenstein having a similar smell, etc. are parameters with an extraordinary weight in the latent-space created by Polanski. The novel on witches gifted to Rosemary decodes this latent space and drives the second-half of the movie, the development section. By now an outstanding exposition of all the characters has been completed#

Biological 1, 2, 3#

  • Sensory. The greatness of his task and the smallness of his contemporaries and judges. But he doesn’t live on my own self-made credit, he has many backers

  • Memory. Here we swing between hallucination and lucidity and a very ambiguous way

  • Emotion. I don’t believe he ever seeks to "improve" or tame mankind. His mission is aesthetic

Fig. 19 Sensory. The dream sequence was partly stimulated by the Husband, doing his duties#

Social 4#

  • Art. How much truth (sensory) can a certain mind endure; how much truth can it dare?—these questions became for me ever more and more the actual test of values. Error (the belief in the ideal) is not blindness; error is cowardice….

Personal 5, 6#

  • Interpreters. I bid you lose me and find yourselves

  • Transvaluation. No fanatic speaks to you here; this is not a “sermon”; no faith is demanded in these pages; here it is not a “prophet” who speaks. Amor Fatí

Fig. 20 Tartarus. Plays a key part in the dream sequence and really impressed me!#
