Elizabeth Rhein-Zardoz Quote-Films

It was the year 2293 and Zardoz had led his people to destroy those not worthy with guns. Zed, a once uninformed citizen under Zardoz’s rule, had now discovered the secret behind his “God.” This discovery soon brought Zed into an unknown world where people lived forever and longed to die. As for my opinion of the film, I was pretty much confused for about 2/3rds of it, but as for the parts I figured out, it was interesting to say the least. One of the lines I noted while watching the film was, “in hunting you, I have become you.” I thought this was important because when Consuella said it to Zed, she was admitting that she was no better than him and therefore had no more of a right to judge him than he did of her. This quote was also said when everything those people had known was being destroyed and there was complete and utter chaos. It was also at this part where Zed tells Consuella that they will be together. I was also confused at this part because I know he kissed her after confessing that he had killed his maker and she blinded him. I was not exactly sure how they had gone from Consuella blinding him to being his beloved. I guess it seems that Zed was going through a transformation of himself at the time because he was sitting and researching while Consuella was chasing him. It looks as though the two had switched roles. Consuella was now the savage and Zed was the intellect.
