Enter The Void

Enter The Void, is probably the most trippy and interesting movie I've ever seen.  The movie is set in Tokyo, Japan. The main character is named Oscar and the film is shot from first person viewpoint.  In the beginning of the film Oscar gets shot by the police for drug dealing and you see the events leading up to this event. Oscar then has an out of body experience where he is floating above Tokyo and looks at his body from above, and then we start to see his life in a roughly chronological order. The most interesting part of about the film is the way it's shot, not many movies are filmed from first person view point.

Riot???

Pussy Riot is a Feminist Punk band in Moscow, Russia. There are 12 members, the performances depict Russian Political life. The punk group was organized, partly, due to anger over what they perceived as government policies that discriminate against women, citing legislation that "placed restrictions on legal abortions". According to their co-founder, Pussy Riot is "part of the global anti-capitalist movement". 

On Feb, 21 2012, 5 members of the group staged an illegal performance on the Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, protesting the re-election of Vladimir Putin. There performance caused three members of the band to be arrested and charged with "hooliganism" they have been sentenced to two years in prison each. 

The prison sentence these activist were giving is so ridiculous, what is the point of human rights!? Freedom of speech?? If this can occur. It just shows that there is no separation between church and state, whereas there should be. Americas not any better tho ;>

MUsicah Of this Generation

I hate the main stream music of my generation, it makes me die inside everyday because theres always this pondering question:

What happened to the Fugees? New order? David Bowie? Velvet Underground???? When did this transition into awful music occur? There is music that I do appreciate of my generation, but it seems producers don't, unfortunately. This band called Who'da Funk It they are amazing, and make me dance. (http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/1693712)  Their sound is like a mix of ska and alternative rock. It's just quite sad that producers would rather sign some skinny plastic bimbo then a group of girls that know how to rock.

Everyone should listen to good tunes.

Morrissey

I love Morrissey, I saw him perform this summer in Manchester, England. It was amazing, but at the same time it was not :( The venue was far t0o0o big, (and it also wasn't the 80s.) Morrissey looked like a tiny dot but his voice radiated my soul. When going to the concert I feared i'd be the laughing stock because I was wearing a Smiths t-shirt to a Morrissey concert, but gradually I started to see a mix of young and old people wearing Smiths and Morrissey shirts so I knew I fit in somewhere finally!

Mediastorm Film

A lonely middle-aged man and a teenaged girl find themselves alone together at a party, where the chance to speak honestly to each other is too tempting to resist. Eric Maierson's short film explores what happens next. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/the-party

I watched a short film on Media Storm.com, it is called The Party by Eric Maierson, this video illustrates the unusual connection between a middle aged man and a 15 year old girl. The story takes place at a company party, where the man goes into the basement and finds the girl smoking a joint. He joins her and they start discussing the problems in their lives. The films plot develops into confusion, loneliness, and desperation of two generations.

I think this film portrayed this unsatisfied need of young people and old people wanting to be loved and how neglected they feel in their lives. To me this is important because there are many miscommunications and you can't always confide in everyone. It's amazing when you can trust someone with your thoughts and feelings and they feel the same way, no matter the age or ethnicity.
