wow, that was really good!
I really liked that movie. At first I wasn't sure what it was going to be about, with all the happy people and stuff. But then when the elevator scene started I realised what the social comentary was about with all the happy people. I thought you showed the grim aspects of human existance well. One of the comments before mine said there were better ways to illustrate your point, like paradox, irony or duplicity, not disturbing images, gore and death. Well I think this guy is wrong! You portrayed these events in the way they really are, stark, brutal and disturbing. THIS IS REAL LIFE! To use any of the means they suggested to get your point across would simply be doing what you were commenting on with the start of the movie, and that is pretending everything is all warm and fuzzy, sugar coating the reality of the subject. Life is pain and death, and you've touched upon this with your movie. Great work!!
p.s. I particularly love the seen with the people "working the land". Seeing you portray the earth and tree's as blleding living things we are destroying was great imagery!
