A Critical Report on the State of Modernity
That's what I would call it. The robotic archetypes of the neat little areas of society that people, men and women, are "supposed to" be placed into so that a sense of "order" may be created as a means of glossing over the hairier details of what it means to be human (of which there is no definite explanation, you just know what its not). You are told to smile and ignore the blatantly simple truths about the way your feeling. Life goes on no matter what happens and nothing stops in the wake of catastrophe (acts of genocide, the daily murders occurring through cities and towns). In a sense, we are all forced, in some way, shape, or form to adhere to certain rules and regulations on human behavior for the sake of professionalism where you are not allowed to grieve or be angry or indignant and you must fit into an archetype in order to be accepted-- it is nearly impossible for someone from a higher economic class to have a conversation with an indigent person. This was a great piece of animation; it hits at the heart of what it means to exist in a society that seems to disagree with the most basic of human principles, that people don't have to smile all the time if they are feeling contrary to what a smile would generally indicate, and that, if you are "different" in some sense this is what will happen to you-- at least metaphorically-- the spikes that "modern" society drives into every man, woman, and child in order to have them believe they are what they are not. Thank you.
that was great and kinda freaky...
funny at the end
nice animation!
