Definitely. The movie altered my interpretation quite a bit. I saw it as a breakdown of civil authority; a microcosm comprising two adjacent communities at war with one another, each with it's own army/police and the story of kids caught in the middle--plus a little teenage angst thrown in for good measure.LeenaLiberty said:Nordling said:Ha ha, Leena, the first one intrigued me so much I watched the movie that it inspired (Scenes From the Suburbs).

You know the more I listen to this.. I feel what they are saying... I think it is a beautiful piece of work....
The changes that are taking place and all,where we are now, when it was easy to just be a kid... now things are so much more complicated....
"So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before all this damage is done"
Of course it is all open to interpretation...

Yes, I remember many years ago, SF author Theodore Sturgeon said something like, "90% of science fiction is crap--but then 90% of EVERYTHING is crap." Bad art is nothing new, but we notice it more when it's fresh--kind of like cow dung.LeenaLiberty said:Nordling said:LeenaLiberty said:Nordling said:Definitely.

Fabulous way to put it...
It is nice when pieces of work, art, music, whatever, can evoke such feelings and thoughts for contemplation of this matter. I think there is so much stuff in the world of media today that is just plain vapid and leaves little to the imagination.
I really really dig the use of different mediums to explore deeper stuff like this... Guess that is why I like the video and song so much... still need to check out the movie..

I certainly don't agree with it but I can understand why others who even would have opposed such a bill voted for it, self-preservation.
