Changes

In Cock and Bull, Carol has begun to realize the downfall of her marriage and relation to Dan, and has therefore begun the practice of satisfying herself. In her transition towards emotional masculinity, she is now growing a penis. Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void is another instance of someone undergoing a physical transformation. Oscar read The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and after he is shot and killed, his body begins floating through the streets of Tokyo, observing the friends and family he left behind. The story is incredibly slow moving and highlights the theme of a reincarnated spirit. Enter the Void does not share a similar plot to Cock and Bull, but in regard to fiction, it holds a similar plot line about changing bodies. Oscar begins to reflect on momentous occasions in his past and the director toys with the notion of a reborn spirit. Usually when a character undergoes some time of extreme physical transformation, they begin to notice impurities in their past self. This early on in Cock and Bull, it's difficult to tell whether or not Carol is analyzing her past life. However, it will be interesting to see how Self utilizes her newfound sexual confidence to separate Carol from her "insipid" personality.
