F.T. Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto

[JCistGottMitUns]

@19ufo47 and that reminds me of one of the earliest editions of the newspeak dictionary which only did away with punctuation the simplification of words came later i do love futurism but are we perhaps going too far sometimes?

[JCistGottMitUns]

Id like to hear the narrator yell "Passsstaaaa!"

[wiredboy27]

A lot of the stuff is quite similar to dubstep, that sure is an interesting genre. But yeah Marinetti only got like this because he had a car and a car is the one thing that makes you lose rationality and become an egomaniac. Hopefully by the time the nanotech revolution comes they'll have realised that what the people who run the silicon and element extraction companies want is not in the interests of humanity and the same mistakes won't happen again.

this reminds me of the Utopian movement .....in the early twentieth century . Takes me back to those monograph comfort . My studies have become so much more disciplined over the years

[chaotic854]

"9. We will glorify war -- the world's only hygiene -- militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.

10. We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice." F.T. Marinetti quoted by Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness... p.457-459.... IOW The guy was a necrophilic narcissistic nutjob.

I should hate the futurists, I just cant. I find their work great.

[grinreaperdutchphil]

@Dreamcriminal There must be a little screw loose in your brain.

[Dreamcriminal]

@grinreaperdutchphil they were pro-war and the main influence for hitler.

[grinreaperdutchphil]

@Dreamcriminal Oh I'm quite sure of it yes. They were blue print fascists. So why advocate them?

[Dreamcriminal]

@grinreaperdutchphil I appreciate their work and some of their ideals. what's your point? I'm not getting it.

[grinreaperdutchphil]

@grinreaperdutchphil What is there to like about a clique of fascists, war-mongerers, irrationalists, misogynists etc.?

[TheHaeresiarch]

@grinreaperdutchphil The beauty of their work?

[busessuck1]

@RhainART ow come... do you prefer fauvism or tracey emins?

[busessuck1]

This is one of the most worthwhile things anyone's ever done on the interent... but even though they were Italians I think you're overdoing the hand motions

[cramdizzl]

I fucking hate art school.

[marinetti900]

fascist culture! great!

[Diosibundo]

Hahahhaha!!!!!!

This is great! Mamma mia!

Did he mention that "that's a espicy meatball!"???

[kateelliott09]

Thank you! What a fantastic way to communicate the spirit of Futurism to my Art History survey students.

[deeznugsbepurp]

We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed.

[cramdizzl]

@deeznugsbepurp Just stop. You don't make sense.

[deeznugsbepurp]

@cramdizzl you are totally right! wow, i think i understand now, thanks cramdizzl!

btw just a little hint: if you hate art school, then maybe you shouldnt be going.

[lesjconj]

It's being presented as campily eccentric. Because it's so dull and everyday to us now, iron girders and cars etc. But Marinetti's violent neurotic excitement is present in every life-strangling modern human phenomena.

[GalacticGuardian]

Fascist futurists were some of the best artists of the 20th century, especially the Italian ones.

[dhoulkarnain]

True.

[maynard286]

this is italian.

[zt1900]

Incredible!

[SherylLaBouchardiere]

Superbly done - perfect!

[jamesgrennan]

Lolbocop!

This is brilliant.

You forgot to mention the maternal ditch, with it's black sludge, like the blessed black breast of your Sudanese nurse.

:)

Oh Fillipo, ya mad bastard!

[Portis1Luv]

The paradox incarnate of a movement that is the edge of a tablesaw, and yet at it's core a lamb waiting to be led, enter WWI and then the "saviour," Marinetti died a very bitter man, for the followers of men and machine.........

[chvishal]

i didnt get it..

[vfrancesonline]

what is me music´s song???

[revolotus]

this is very well done - music especially - thanks for putting it together!

[BlancoSculler]

good work

[Architectdit]

this is excellent it captures the feeling of futurism so well

[williebenign]

except of course... the antiquated washed out sepia tones....

[rocketshipstud]

he is a rebel...he is tired of the 1800s backwards ways of italy...false religion and the ignorant...he wants a roadster an freeways...he wants factories and public works to create jobs and nice things...he wants electricity and the radio and railroads and airliners...he gets them but only in the bloody mess of ww-1...

[rocketshipstud]

thankyou for posting this genius...i am a futurist...he is asking for startrek but what he gets is the ww-1 meatgrinder...the future still may turn out the way he is dreaming of...

[Monstrosburg]

I read the impresario's manifesto, studied Italian Futurism, and this is a very good declamation. This is an all time favorite video! Brilliant!

[yetispotter2]
