*As a note to any who might be offended: My siggy is not a necessary reflection of my views. It is from a series of quotes I liked from John Westbrook as the Red Death. As a note, they did take what was originally a more "wealth and debauchery cannot evade death" and added Christian/Satanist/Rationalist themes...but less to promote one or the other, and more to question it all. It depicts debauchery, but as a result of wealth and escapism, and not risque until the end, where one fellow goes to that extreme as an example of egotism.

Among the conversations/quotes:

Red Death to passing old woman: "Grandmother...come closer. Take this (Blood-red rose) to your village, and tell the people the day of their deliverance is at hand."

Other character: (Mistaking the Red Death as a priest) "My God!"
Red Death: "Who is 'your God'?"
Other character: "The true one!"
Red Death: Yes...Tell me."
Other character: "I've sinned...I've killed."
Red Death: "For yourself?"
Other character: "No...no, I'm afraid!"
Red Death: "For yourself?"
Other character: "For Francesca...and for me. I must go back there, but I don't know how! What weapon can I use against Prospero?"
Red Death: "Love."

"There is no face of Death, until the moment of your own death."

Prospero: (Having sent Francesca to the battlements outside) "Thank you, your Excellency, for the girl."
Red Death: "I have no title. Why do you call me 'Excellency'?"
Prospero: "Well, I thought as the ambassador of Satan, I-"
Red Death: "He is not my master. Death has no master."
Prospero: "But Satan rules the universe! I made a pact with him!"
Red Death: "He does not rule alone, and your pact with him will not save you."
Prospero: "There is no other god! Satan killed him!"
Red Death: "Each man creates his own god for himself. His own heaven. His own hell."

(To a cornered Prospero) "Why should you be afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time."

(Meeting the Black, Yellow, and White Deaths) "I called many; peasant, and prince, the worthy, and the dishonored...sic transit gloria mundi."

(Note: If people want me to remove this, I will, and replace it with cute bunnies. I am aware that such topics make people uncomfortable oftentimes, and I do not mean it to be; the film made me think, in a non-hostile troll-worthy manner, so I liked it.)
