The plot necessitates most of the drama occurring on the first earth. This trailer shows that is also the case. The trailer also shows us the entire movie...and I hate that. She kills somebody, tries to make up for it, the earth thing happens, she gets to go, isn't sure about leaving, some drama will go down and the climax of the film will be her decision to leave or stay...

I'm not goanna pay for it, but I'll rip it

My post-structuralist and Lacanian psychoanalysis is getting overclocked right now.

This vid= "the human revolt against the irremediable. (s)he refuses the reason its reasons and begins to advance with some decision only in the middle of that colorless desrt where all certainties have become stones."

The police are hired guns of the state. Though they are exploited, they cannot be seen as members of the proletariat. They represent the state, seized by the bourgeoisie to protect their private property

The snake is in solidarity with the people of Palestine!

Its a sad trend that people target Islam as the source of oppression. Religion is an ideology, like anything else. That means it occurs within a context of economics, state-apparatuses, class interest, racism and patriarchy. Religion becomes an extension of these power relationships. The religion doesn't matter, its the class forces behind it. Any religion can become oppressive so long as the conditions of power exist to cause that to happen in the first place. To target religion, then, is to target a symptom, not a source.

You can claim that Islam is *naturally* misogynistic. This is false. Few religions will be *naturally* anything. Evidence of this lies in the vast differences between interpretations of religion. What is more accurate is to analyze how this religion fits into the interests of ruling elite, how they exert their hegemony through religion, etc.

Please, stop focusing your energy on Islam as evil. That is a neoconservative lie created to make a split in internationalism more severe. It is instead the material system that the religion finds itself in that is evil, namely, capitalism. Not to say that an ideology is incapable of being "X or Y". Just that these variables are less potent than the concrete material limits of economic and racial systems.

The real grounding to analyze this film is the sequence at 14:26. The text comes up stating, "Remember: This is merely a cartoon. None of this is real. This is a purely fictional occurrence, in no way based on reality. This is not happening in this universe or any other. Neither are these words. Neither are you. There is only a silent emptiness spreading infinitely in all directions."

This is the sadness of the piano. All the while, the characters act like its not big deal that they are taking apart this human like being. What the film does is force you to feel empathy for what is going on, relate to this 3d images, which are not 'real'. However, the fact that you can relate to them is what is so disturbing, because the conclusion is that our reality, our 'external world' is itself another virtual 3d image program, merely the one that we are born into without consent.

Remember, the land of freedom and equality supports the right to self determination...

To look at this situation and say, "see! The Arabs are naturally inclined towards rape or violent treatment of women is ludicrous. You are attributing a social phenomenon with a half-assed biological determinant analysis. Such an analysis lends itself readily to racism, as you are saying that this particular 'type' of human being has a natural inclination towards a specific behavior. Condensed, you are saying, "Arabs are all X". You get where this logic leads to?

We have to see this in the context of history, economics, class, gender, etc. We have to see the way that men treat women as a result of continued struggle to equate Woman with Human, i.e. on par with Man. We have to understand the series of transformations Egypt, as well as the entire world have gone through, i.e. the progression of class struggle to reach this current moment. To ignore all of this an simply say it is because they are Arab is, emphasized, half-assed and racist.

What about the treatment of women in Western society? http://www.childrensmediaproject.org/photos/woman-in-cage.gif

"in 2004, women's wages were 76.5% of men's wages"

There comes a point where you are presented with such consistent and abhorrent disregard for human life that we are left to say that this entire system and world we have inherited is wrong on a fundamental level.

Looking at this as "Its only one person not the whole group of people, so see him as a shit head" is still not a full analysis.

Taking the meaning of this video as blankfists' comment shows (a man is angry about ordering bacon in a halal restaurant), we have to wonder, why is he angry? Would this piss him off under all circumstances? Is this a result of him being religious?

Of course, we are not able to infer much. I would argue that, really, this anger is not a result of him being a 'naturally angry person'. He's fucking working at KFC! He doesn't get paid shit, lives as a minority in a white-based nation (Australia, the product of colonialism), probably doesn't have much dignity left after it was taken away from him, and thus didn't have much patience to deal with this crap.

The theme may seem at first glance religious, but this is a class/race issue here. I would get really fucking angry too if I had to work at KFC and serve white people

racist white people

Apparently the lesson here is that out of 40 films, there are only 6 women and the rest men. Thus, Hollywood represents an industry catering to patriarchy, where the wise are men and only (mostly) men.

Good stuff btw

Good video. However,

-There is alot more to the people's movements in the Arab world then the high price of food. Food prices are only a particular among many forms of oppression that they have been experiencing for a long time
-When the video focuses on Egypt, the clip is of protestors shouting "allahu akbar", furthering the stereotype (which benefits US imperialist interest btw) that the unrest in Egypt is related to Islam, which it is not.

We need a Christian Dictator...to replace the Capitalist dictators...

"Of course, another thing you should get from the Valet et al. paper is that a full reversal sequence is not an instantaneous event; our compasses will not point north today and south tomorrow. Instead, the geomagnetic field will weaken, and the magnetic poles will start to wander to lower latitudes, and possibly multiply, over a period of hundreds and thousands of years. It looks dramatic from the perspective of Deep Time, but during a reversal the changes over a human lifetime will probably be little different from the secular variation we see today. No extinction event has ever been linked to a magnetic field reversal, and I think that we might just cope with the next one too - whenever it might occur."

This is a fear-mongering and thus, viewer selling film. It's entertainment value trumps is scientific value. Instead of worrying about magnetic fields destroying civilization and our human reality, concern yourself with historical materialism and participation in society.
