In some ways I'm inclined to agree. The most shocking part of this video may not even be the murder of innocents, or their extravagent cause of death (running through a live minefield no less) but the image of the murder of a child. The video seems to claim that violence against adults and men is so commonplace that the only effective way to convey the message is by breaking taboo. I also agree that the visual elements of the video augmented the message. Nothing screams chaos quite as much as vomit-inducing shaky handheld camera work doesHee-Lien Neiman Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970099992885131041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-81152831875198641312011-02-05T18:04:44.906-08:002011-02-05T18:04:44.906-08:00This video was beautifully put together. As someon...This video was beautifully put together. As someone who loves watching great video editing and cinematography, I was thoroughly impressed by the shots used to capture this video's message. This video, to me, shows the overall idiotic nature of persecution. No matter what someone looks like, talks like, acts like or whatever, no one deserves this type of treatment. It puts all of the larger scale stuff into perception because all around the world their are people persecuting others who they feel are inferior. MIA's video shows this and brings to light how stupid senseless murder of people who are different from you (even in the most arbitrary of ways; like having different hair color) is completely, utterly, and absurdly a ridiculous concept. Overall it was an interesting video with great cinematography and a great message of human equality and how some groups waiver from this principle.cmc9015https://www.blogger.com/profile/03092415415477948475noreply@blogger.com
