Here's what I have to maybe turn in for my final project/video. In order to make it fit concretely with the topic (relating to some "insight we gained about globalism during the course"), here's what I can say about it:
- I've learned that terrible things happen around the world, but life goes on everywhere often without much consideration of the problems elsewhere
- Progress often creates problems, hence the bomb
- The nuclear bombs looking like sunrises/sunsets can be interpreted as globalization in a way... Something destructive and terrible (from one point of view) that has subjected so many to terrible labor and living conditions has created a world of cheap goods (the "life's a beach" world). So the misery of some is, indirectly, the pleasure of others.
- Continuing with that, nuclear explosions emit radiation, and if the effect sort of works so that it looks like the people are sunbathing in the midst of a nuclear bomb test, globalization is going to get them in the end with the effects of radiation.
- Nuclear proliferation and bomb testing are global issues in themselves.
- The background song is supposed to be melancholy and signaling an ending because obviously nuclear bombs do not create.
- The newsreel, apart from being kind of scary and ironic in itself, represents the availability of knowledge about the problems of the world (here, the bomb) but the people just chilling on the beach shows how little things get done about the problems
- Sooooo yeah. Does it make sense? Will it work to turn in? Does it matter that I didn't film anything myself? Thanks for looking and for your help!
