Hes so articulated in his speech and so well spoken, its easy to find him characteristic and charming for some AND THAT makes him so dangerous. The fact he is able to control you by speech alone.
They say the Judge is a devil or even the big red himself, but no, he is man, and no more. To think that Holden is any other given thing than human is not only an insult to McCarthy's writing, but also the point of the Judge as a character. To think that such horrendous actions were committed by some beyond human entity is to take sense out of the story, because, everything that the Judge represents is nothing but an unfiltered representation of us as a concept. Judge Holden isn't the Devil, he is man, all of it.
As a giant fan of Blood Meridian and Kendrick Lamar this is amazing. To me, this song almost feels like The Kid/The Man's theme. He's nihilistic to the world, himself, and life in general but still wants to be a better person and by the end of it he (arguably) succeededs. This song feels like it would represent him well. Kudos to whoever made it.
The idea of the Judge as Lucifer or Satan is fascinating, and is certainly supported on a surface level by his introduction. The pries tells it how it is. This man is the devil. He's the eternal adversary, the greatest deceiver. But another fascinating idea is that he is what his name implies, a Judge. A biblical Judge. He has the strength of samson and is sent to represent God in the world of Blood Meridian, to destroy the Old World and usher in the new.
the judge is not preaching anything out of the ordinary, he is a man who studied both extremes of philosophy and used his gift to put the fear of God in an otherwise ungodly nation thirsty for war, plunder and destruction
man I am _tweakin_ tweakin I've listened to this a _few dozen times now_ and I'd swear this depiction of Holden was grinning over his shoulder but that image is _not how I remember it anymore_
The Natives were brutalizing each other long before the Europeans turned up. What happened to them wasn't special. They brutalized until someone showed up who was better at being worse. That's all of human history.
He is between 6'7'' to 7 feet tall, 24 stone(336 lbs) and very strong and quick, like a cat. He is athletic and well built. probably something similar to a strongman physique.
“It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they enlist the participants whole. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all. Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives. Who has not heard such a tale? A turn of the card. The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man’s hand or that man at his. What more certain validation of a man’s worth could there be? This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate. The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one. In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear. This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence. This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is God"

Dancing bear? No matter how it dances, its amazing that it does at all. No matter what you think about killing people or how you feel after it, its amazing you manage to survive in such a cruel world by doing so, its amazing youre one of the "strong" and not "weak" as the judge would put it. Since part of his ideology is that the strong have the right to do whatever to the weak, and its why he even had a semblance of camaraderie with the integrants of the glanton gang Maybe im tripping

Abhor him all you want, Mister Holden is a talented individual that believes in manifest destiny.
Blood Meridian is one of those books that should never be adapted into a movie.
It depends who directs it. If its a great director who stays true to the feel and story of the original material it could be really good
@@Fronkleen I agree, although I feel like if it is adapted then certain moments would have to be cut.
