you just can't help yourself, can you? i think spewing your pretentious bullshit is like an involuntary action you have little control over.theeradicaleclectic wrote:Sixteen Saltines as a short film really does have powerful imagery which was not crafted well consistently due to lack of time on the part of the director... the concept base is there and nearly complete as a collection of vignettes that set up the conflicts as a series of narratives ... sadly the audience has to go frame by frame to make sense of lyric correlation
Save for a few specifically unresolved elements which may have been worked out with more time and attention to accomplishing specific scenic transitions associated with the transfer of symbolic counterparts.. without a doubt the audience gets a sense of values in juxtaposition between man-made objects as mental domains and the natural world albeit supernatural truth possible in the world as a means of understanding that which cannot last and those things which are at greatest risk... absolutes such as innocence/hope/aggression are delivered to the forefront of this clash between what is and what ought to be in a way that most certainly delivers a swift resolution of destruction as abandon
the question becomes whose destruction and what sort of abandon ... rock star by his fans or kids by society.. or both?
the most disconcerting resolution for the viewrs of this short film is the of the unwillingness of the featured soundtrack which shows no mercy and does not break pace or skip a beat in its relentless vehemence of revelation emoting a raw world of decay as the truth surrounding children who play adult games as a matter of finding the truth of their nature
also, hurp.
And the song?-really good.
