Babette Babich - what a name. Straight out of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, eh.
Nancy Babich BAM!
Nancy Babich is CODE
In Cosmopolis Nancy Babich is CODE for a smart gun. Babette is Jack Gladney's wife in DeLillo's White Noise. Jack Gladney is THE international specialist in Hitler Studies. Babette Babich is THE international specialist in Nietzsche. Nietzsche is the philosopher that Hitler pressed to his bosom. Nietzsche is the philosopher that Ayn Rand memorized and read from age 16 until her late 30's. Beyond Good and Evil was her first book in English and she underlined all her favorite passages says Barbara Branden quoting her in her book The Passion of Ayn Rand. Nancy Babich is CODE for Babette Babich. Babette Babich is CODE for the entire book. Babette Babich is the "smart gun" who shoots soft and deadly bullets that shatter masks. Nietzsche: Words written in blood are not to be read but learnt by heart
Babette Babich wrote Words In Blood, Like Flowers - Philosophy and Poetry, Music and Eros in Holderlin, Nietzsche, and Heidegger

To defy the system with a gift to which it cannot respond save by its own collapse and death. Nothing, not even the system, can avoid the symbolic obligation, and it is in this trap that the only chance of a catastrophe for capital remains. ...For it is summoned to answer, if it is not to lose face, to what can only be death. The system must itself commit suicide in response to the multiplied challenge of death and suicide. (Jean Baudrillard - Symbolic Exchange and Death 37)

Cosmopolis was WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
"Words written in blood are not to be read but to be learnt by heart" - Nietzsche
The Cronenberg read Cosmopolis in one sitting, pasted the dialogue into screenplay software in 6 days.Shot the film in 6 weeks.Edited it on the quick.Showed it in Cannes one year later.
Wham bam thank you ma'am!
ROB PATTINSON LEARNED THE WORDS BY HEART. He says they still echo in his inner ear. Rob Pattinson is following Nietzsche's urging.
Cronenberg probably didn't even know Nietzsche said what he said.
