WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

HIGH-QUALITY VIEWING ONLY.

To all filmmakers who accept the limited, socially determined rules of clarity of exposition, who think that films must use the accepted vocabulary to convince, we say, essentially: You only work, whatever your reasons, whatever your presumed content, to support and bolster this society. You are part of the mechanisms which maintain stability through reintegation. Your films are helping to hold it all together. And, finally, whatever your other descriptions, you have already chosen sides. Dig: Your sense of order and form is already a political choice. Dont talk to me about content—but if you do, I will tell you that you cannot encompass our content with those legislated and approved senses, that you do not understand it if you treat it that way. There is no such thing as revolutionary content, revolutionary spirit laid out for inspection and sale on the bargain basement counter.

We want to make films that unnerve, that shake assumptions, that threaten, that do not softsell, but hopefully (an impossible ideal) explode like grenades in peoples faces, or open minds up like a good can opener.

First, thank you for the compliment. But I just want to say I don't believe this film portrays Westerners in a negative light; they simply have every opportunity afforded to them. The contrast between the man who smoked himself to death getting medical attention and the dead Arab kid on the ground couldn't be any more clear. The film is about our leisure at the expense of less developed societies. This isn't any one individual's particular fault, it's simply how the world developed.

i thought the video was awesome. dont get me wrong. but i love how we take film of these middle easter people and make it seem like they are the victim all the while some douchebag is playing 9/11 footage and playing it to benny hill music. and many of us think its funny. america has it problems yes, but lets not forget a culture who hates our western ways of thinking so much that they would kill more people in peacetime, than those lives lost in pearl harbor. think about that for a moment.

No problem man, I know good movies when I see them and your movies are genius to an upcoming starting film director like myself, from the die hard hilarious Long afternoon series all the way to the awakened reality of The North American Kino Eye. I cant wait to see what you guys do when It comes to the big screen.

Your films are revolutionary, you are an inspiration to me.
