Of Gus Van Sant
With John Robinson, Alex Frost, Elias McConnell, Eric Deulen
An ancient Indian legend tells the story of an elephant surrounded by four people sedutegli around blindfolded, held in front of them unaware that there is an animal that big. The first person reaches out towards the elephant and says: "This is a leg!" The person who is on the side makes the same gesture and exclaimed: "This is a tail!" The third person presses for sure: "I am Certainly, this is an ear! "And the last one:" This for me is a trunk! "
The four people tested recognize the animal that have touched with their hands, but none of they can see the elephant. They have recognized a part, but they missed the whole thing is, the set includes all the individual parts.
as suggested by Gus van Sant in an interview a few years ago, we often relate to the complexity of reality in which we are immersed in these terms.
If Elephant , it is obvious that sometimes their parents as they relate to the lives of their children. Do you think you know all the way, do not really know that a small part. And this is not enough. Then when the children are unbelievers come into a school and commit a massacre in their eyes for no reason, as happened at Columbine High School April 20 1999.
Elepahnt is the film that we will recommend this week.
