the darker side of human forms
saw. a very much disturbing film but well executed i must say. film was like an in-between of seven , the bone collector and the german film the black box.vampire crimes. racist lynching. hannibal lectors. rapists. psychopaths.
what do they have in common?
what do they desire out of their monstrous actions?
power isn't it? the ability to control someone's fate is the key. the ability to instill instant fear and obedience is the driving force behind such sick motives.
its intriguing how these antisocial personalities can evolve into highly intelligent serial killers with immaculate action plans. how they see their sadistic actions as "messiahic", deciding who should live and die. it's not so much of a mental illness, but rather character flaws that they're suffering from. loners living out of reality amidst their little "safe" world where there's no place for remorse. in fact, they're more likely to see their actions as justice awarded to the malfunctioning society (which i don't deny the world is at times fucked up).
it also made me rethink certain issues. like:
1) how far would one go to save itself from doom?
2) how far would one go to save its loved ones from fear and agony?
3)what is one more afraid of? pain (self amputation), death, being alive sans hope of survival or being alone (chained up in a room in no man's land)?
every human's claustrophobic, and claustrophobia creates fear and fear results in violence. is that why we're always at war? because earth's overly populated and the struggle for control and power's getting out of hand? its america against the terrorists now. but what if one thing led to another based on loose alliances and the yellow people get involved? would china and japan once again revive the horrors and anguish of WWII with massive collateral damage?
growing up in "taken for granted" safe hands, nestled away from crazed militia dominance, over indulging in superficial logo displays, what will we become when the day of reckoning comes?
what would we do then?
cos louis vuitton would not matter shit anymore would it?
