Darwin's Nightmare (2004)
Watch Darwin's Nightmare
I just saw the documentary Darwin's Nightmare and as a consequence I feel a bit sick. The whole system with which our lives are tightly mixed up - it's just so sad. Nothing new is presented in the film, but it just puts everything so clear right before our eyes. The sad story of European companies producing weapons sold in Africa and bringing back fish and grapes to Europe while children in Africa are dying of starvation. And the best way of earning money is to join the army. If you don't have a job; pray for a war. and if you can't afford the fish aimed for Europe; eat the rotten leftovers. The lake Victoria is almost dead, but be grateful for the big fish that can be exported. I don't know what to say really. Watch that movie. and try your best to make the world a better place.
A Profile of James O'Barr (2001)
short comment
i just loved this bizarre little interview, very capturing and interesting from the beginning to the end. everyone who liked the crow should see this. unusually filmed and very intensively cut, all adding to the intense appearance of james o'barr. hearing his story in his own words touched me deeply and also added very much to my impression and thoughts about the crow. in the same time as james' story is told, the picture of eric draven - o'barrs alter ego - is visualized and created before our eyes. we're also allowed to see other glimpses from the black and white world that comes out of o'barr's skilled mind and creative hands. i just saw this documentary but i already feel like watching it again.
