A friend of mine along with a friend of his, have put together a very interesting film. It's a social commentary of sorts, except for a finish, it's the viewer who adds the commentary. It's an effort that's absolutely devoid of humour, unless one can step back from that narrative and photo story, and see how unmixable these elements would have been, a very short time ago. That's the nature of realisation itself though, isn't it?

I knew where this short film was taking me from the moment I pressed play and I would have turned it off, had the journey itself not been such a compelling experience. The visual footage is very pleasing to the eye, whilst at the same time, the mind grasps the contradiction: what we're seeing is not pleasing at all. And who amongst us could fail to love Dennis Hopper, cast in the lead as Brian 'Brains' Ahern?

Anyway, enough of my blather, on with the show:

Nice houses, the first lot anyway.
