Great stuff.
Mental polarity and the dual nature of life/experiences is something the greatest minds in the world have dealt and continue to deal with. It's also what qualifies (according to critics) a specific director to be considered an "auteur" --- his/her ability to explore the tension that duality brings (read Andrew Sarris on "auteur theory").
Duality/Dichotomy are also fundamental Christian themes (or, I should say, fundamental themes of human consciousness that Christianity illuminates).
As Christians, we are both mortal and divine, saint and sinner.
Interesting stuff if you ask me.
