fund-a-mental changes?

a film which shuddered this morning. after a jolly eventful night.

i managed to ravel in three films with the same philosophic spine during the same week; these augmented my new intuitions: tsotsi, lord of the flies and ciudad de deus.
after having deplored the lack of rule of law, and its consequences on property, I ended up contemplating the concept of state of nature and its winners.

all the three films are about ruthlessness, delivering the fact that MAN IS A BEAST and that perhaps it's unnatural times we have been living since the rise of humanitarianism. suddenly it's not that easy for me to condemn power gained by brute force or cunning, since the alternative of the weak and good-willing proves uninspiring. irrational fight for survival (supremacy) whether in a Soweto slum, a deserted island, or an apocalyptic Favela brings forward a similar individual- young, both feared and respected, an somewhat aestheticised. nonetheless, somebody out there found it immoral to glorify such a typology and added to all these creations an ethical counterpoint. in this manner, the viewer is pushed towards embracing the "correct" morality and condemn violence.



be that as it may, i have grown a temporary abhorrence of weakness manifested both physically and mentally. it started partly from being intrigued by the necessity of making clear-cut distinctions which result in condemnation of villains, then got fired up by a book, and cemented in a misfortunate encounter...to be explained later
