Technically he's Colqhoun pretending to be Colonel Ives..?

[@thwompboss]

@@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick The movie never really tells us his real identity

[@zion6680]

@@thwompboss Yeah the way I interpreted, he's been in the game of snacking on people for a while as well. Ives is just an adopted moniker from an actual Colonel that must have traveled with the troup that fell victim to Colqhoun, and even that name could be fake if you consider how familiar he seemed with what he was doing.

You know, it's not courage to resist me, Boyd. It's courage to accept me. I mean, you're already one of us. Well...almost. You hunger for it. You just won't resign yourself to it. It's not so difficult, really...acquiescence. It's easy, actually. You just... give... in.

[@curtis6025]

There is nothing like this movie, or soundtrack. Im still amazed how such an intricate score was crafted for a little known film.

[@necroknightmare]

Whenever people ask me what my favorite movie is... I think of all the movies I love so dearly and then default on this one. The horror, the dark humor, the sheer POWER behind it's take on Wendigo myth. This movie is just so god damned good and I can not do it enough justice trying to explain why. It is really one of those movies you just have to watch to really see how awesome it is. Every time this song plays in particular, especially for scenes like the one where Boyd gives in and eats the stew right as the song picks up and it is really driven home how dire a situation he is in with his own hunger. A masterpiece of a movie, a masterpiece of a soundtrack 10/10 all around.

It's one of those rare movies where you think "How did this even get made in the first place, it's absolutely crazy..." just before you think "...But it did, it exists and it's perfect." It's not for everyone, but for those who love it, it seems tailor made for them. Everyone's perfectly cast, the balance of horror, humour and irreverence is just right and it has that bonkers soundtrack.

I love this whole bit where Ives bares his soul. You can't help feeling sorry for him, in a weird way. If nothing else, he's right that empires are cannibals.

[@elegit3603]

Empires aren't cannibals, the point Ives was making was that once you've tasted the blood of your kinsmen, you begin needing it in larger and larger quantities. Empires are not formed by consuming other empires, but by consuming weaker and smaller nations.

[@AquinasBunny]

Elegit And cannibals are formed by consuming weaker and smaller humans. The metaphor still works here.

[@MrSniperdude01]

My personal take was that Ives was impressing the irony --- America growing strong by "Westward expansion" (which was only possible by forcing indians onto reservations) & his plans for them to grow stronger by preying on all those predators coming west to seek fortunes. It's sorta like Jaguar & Anaconda. Both are APEX predators, both live in the jungle, but the jaguar rarely wins against the slow heavy river-prone snake

A theme song to all destinies. Will they be manifested? Only time will tell.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

The track's title is a reference to Manifest Destiny, a phrase discussed midway through the film. Coined in 1845, it is the idea that the United States is destined-by God, to expand its dominion and democracy, Christianity, and capitalism across the entire North American continent. Colquhoun compares the concept to cannibalism, that killing and eating other people isn't any different to how the United States was expanding - by force - fighting and killing other nations like the Mexicans, Native Americans, etc, to establish itself and assert its power, because in a manner of speaking, cannibalism and Manifest Destiny are both about people consuming each other.
