Controlled Bleeding - A Nation's Nightmare

[StigmataBOB1]

Accident? Is the Oil disaster being made to look like an accident? Earth has over 100,000 nukes. Could we have an accident?

Can we trust that all Nations who have Nukes, would never have an accident? Or use one and say they were defending themselves? What about a submarine commander, or a suite case nuke, or an airplane crash? Would such an accident cause the world to insist on having a One World Oversight over Nukes? A One World Government?

Personally, the video and topic are very overwhelming in scope and length to be fully appreciated by myself at an artistic level. I think that this is because my mind is clouded with the research I've compiled on this topic. It is, however, a very well-done video with a good musical score attached, not to mention the very poignant message conveyed by the author.

perfect formatting looking for more.

brilliant work breaking down conscious borders to hard situations, translating into and experiential learning situation in which the whole person is involved. You want hollywood, go to hollywood. You want to stretch your consciousness without necessarily using drugs, watch the work of Barton Santello.

All these requests for texts, reminds me of kindergarten. remember how the teacher would read the words as the class looked at the pictures? thats their childish mentality....This visual compilation is awesome!! it just takes a certain kind of intelligence to comprehend the artist, or filmakers, concept...Again great job!

[Bsantello]

I'm glad to hear you connected with this film at an artistic level. It shows you were open to my style and thus were able to have an original experience viewing this motion picture.. Bart S. Director "Controlled Bleeding"

Formulaic and very predictable. scarey pictures and scarey music is nothing new, conceptually - especially with stock video footage

[Bsantello]

I chose the film's central idea to be "oil" - the biggest industry on earth. So I went

back through my media library on this topic, choosing only those visual elements (from the media) that I thought were artistic. What I did for Controlled Bleeding was to reassemble these seemingly random visual elements from the archived media, into a film that represents how I perceive the impact of oil on the world, all driven by the human psyche.

I agree wit R0c because im sitting here thinin wow where the text i can atleast read.now if i was totally blown on weed I would be like dude this video is creepy and trippy..but sober im thinkin..add sum text cuz it looks a bit like illuminati propaganda

[Bsantello]

In filmmaking, I like to show how I perceive things. The world is presented to us through media. We observe it, but our observations go through a cultural filter and thus our observations are tainted. I suggest looking at the film like you're watching someone's dream. But instead of trying to figure it out; instead, use your experience of viewing the film, as an opportunity to observe emotions generated by the experience. Bart S.,Filmmaker

More context pleae.

[Bsantello]

I can understand your feeling that maybe more 'context' is necessary for this film. However;

Controlled Bleeding - a Nation's Nightmare, was not meant to be a historical account, or documentary. When I created this film, 'context' was (intentionally) not a

consideration. Bart S.,Filmmaker

Although Khomeini stood against USA ,he was a real devil for most of Iranians.

Of course there are alternatives to gasoline, Those being HEMP, where there is a good doc on google on HEMP for gasoline, ARcANE, is another source which is like steam... There are several others. They shall remain in Pandora's box.

[justgotbackfromnam]

very good.

To sum up what you said

No longer relying on oil

Equals more world peace, a healthier earth

We also need to worry about superficial, fickle people, and religous extremism.

[Steadno]

Interesting...

As someone who likes to read about politics while they're high, I can really appreciate this
