"A Fistful Of Dynamite"

Unread postby paimei01 » Tue 03 Jul 2007, 15:53:35

I just saw this movie, it's about a bandit who wants to rob a bank and the revolution in Mexico.
Very good film, it has a powerful begining that shows some "people" so much caught in materialism and preconceived ideeas that they almost are not people anymore, in contrast with the bandit that meets them
Also after I saw this film and saw what happened during that revolution, the mass media who tries to scare the entire world because of a burning car that crashed into the airport makes me laugh.
It's unbelievable what is now on tv, something out of some SF movie

One day there will be so many houses, that people will be bored and will go live in tents. "Why are you living in tents ? Are there not enough homes ?" "Yes there are, but we play this Economy game". Now it's "Crisis" time !Too many houses! Yes, we are insane!

Over in Hawaii, around the University & King Street area, is a homeless person with two HUGE carts of crap. They move one cart a few yards, then go get the other one and move it, then move the first one... etc. apparently all through the day. Guess they have a sort of route they go, around and around. Their materialism is just more apparent since they can't hide it inside an apartment. Because to that person, the stuff is what matters, life is devoted to the STUFF.

This is in Honolulu, where the weather's always ideal for outside sleeping, people are generally kind. There's less need than in most places to acquire a lot of stuff. Yet, this person has internalized the values of our society that thoroughly.

I saw a homeless gal in downtown Palo Alto today, with one cart piled up huge, must be 200lbs of old clothes etc on that baby. Yeah I gave her a "buck for luck".
