Sight



I'm sorry to say you won't find any prominent acting or engaging action in this film, but what you will find is an ambitious and honest premise, based on a very relevant reflection of the future of our world as people begin to mingle more and more with the technology provided by the internet and computer-based softwares. We become so immersed in the virtual world that we forget to check behind all the closed doors, such doors that mask the dangerous numerous possibilities we have subjected ourselves to. We trust in the companies that provide for us and in the people we surround ourselves with, never believing that these entities could do anything to break or manipulate that trust. We are a society of misconceptions led by the power of our faith in delusions. The computer has taken over and isn't going anywhere, just morphing and evolving as we continue to praise its existence. I don't believe there is any time left to question whether or not this will happen to us; it already has. What remains is to ask where will it take us and if there will ever be a chance to reverse the effects.

Eye For An Eye



Apologies for the low quality. I have yet to find a better copy. Anyway, this film is an old favorite teeming with obvious social and political implications, some of the most prominent dealing with propaganda and imperialism. If you can't wrap your head around it I'll give you a little hint: society is actively poisoning your mind and manipulating you into thinking a certain way! But don't quote me; that's just what comes off in the video. Make you're own assertions. I'd say the music alone makes watching it worthwhile, and by the way, some of the quotes within the video are from The Thin Red Line. Should you decide to watch the movie, be prepared for a long, deeply philosophical journey that will probably leave you scratching your head and wishing you had watched Twilight instead. Just kidding. Should anyone want to discuss any of the topics in the above video feel free to comment. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
