how fuckin splendid that the fuckin german dubbing fucks everything up. one idea would be using some sort of text showing up in the lower part of the screen, with the german translation in it! (That of course only works if there is such a thing as a written german language.) Anyway, in the rest of the world these little texts have worked out pretty well.
@sothimmel maybe these Germans didn't feel like reading subtitles, and decided listening to overdubs would make for a better viewing experience. Oh and GREAT joke about there being no written German language! hA Ha ha Ha Ha hA!
... simultaneously being bombarded with extreme activity. We are immobilised, but at the same time ?part of a cinematic event?. So I would say that nightmare is not only one of the possible (?) and themes of film, but that the formal composition of film is itself something nightmarish.
... is why I admire these two video clips very much. They present a very nice cinematic equivalent of waking up, because his standing still means for me "Okay, if I wake up, the nightmare will disappear." The video clip Karma Police stages another feature of the nightmarish situation perfectly, namely the paradoxical mixture of immobility and violent motion. You move, but the the faster you move in a nightmare world the more you become aware of your immobility. For example, when the car...
...accelerates and tries to catch up with the person, but, though it gets faster, they somehow never meet. This is interesting because it sheds new light on the old paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, whereby Achilles cannot catch up with the tortoise. This is the elementary machinery of dream logic. So why do I mention this? Isn't this mixture of extreme mobility and immobility also our situation as cinema or video spectators? We are, as spectators, having our own mobility reduced, while...
Hello. Look, I am from Argentina. I do not speak German. It would be insane to ask for this in Spanish. But maybe it is possible in English. Is it? Or perhaps with subtitles. The video is so interesting, but I cannot understand what Zizek is saying. Please, if you can post it with English subtitles, or you know where to look for the original without the German guy speaking over Zizek, please let me know. Thank you... I have got to learn German...
@revistalugones I was translating the Zizek analyses of music videos tonight that docuville posted. However, it is now 3.30am. I will get back to you tomorrow with this one.
@revistalugones In two clips, Karma Police and Rabbit in your Headlights, we have two similar but not identical situations. A person is being followed, is hit by cars and at the end there is a kind of a cut. In one case it is a complete cut - the person stops running and stands still, so that the cars explode - a reversal of the situation - and in Karma Police he lights a match, starting a huge fire. This breaks the vicious circle of the nightmare, and indeed I find it very successful, which...

Following Zizek comments, these two videos remind me also the one called "Angel" by Massive Attack.
