Refer to the writings of Gunter Grass. The Tin Drum outlines the future of the world. Recalling a quote " each time history repeats itself, the price paid is much higher". I cannot understand where the lack of interest comes from. Ignorance? Sure everybody has it on some level... Naaa that cant be it. How about, Gullible? That's getting closer... There has to be a better description out there. Hmmmm; How about innocence? Even children are hardly innocent in this civilization. That wont do either. Oh! I have it! Child State! A less elegant description although fitting for the current group of adults who are capable of changing and stopping the world wide situation as it progresses today. Yes Child State it will be.
Next example should be (but isnt)... Pans Labyrinth. Most take the movie in Jungian terms as a happy story.. Little girl living in Spain just as the Allies are about to land at Normandy to end the "war". La la la she is surrounded by evil but triumphs in the end. Even though she dies. Nope, I see it as another allegory used to define our current (and ongoing) world wide problem with a few struggling for the better of the many. Why? Well, maybe the few are the only group capable of seeing and realizing what is actually going on currently. I wont go into the boring details as my point is about literature and movies leading the way only to be misunderstood by the Child State over and over again.
Pan Labyrinth has several meanings built into it... The single meaning im addressing here is the struggle of the few fighting for the many. Ophelia the main character is innocence. the Captain the repressive government, multinational government, financial entity .the oppressive material world most people abide in without questioning which prohibits the full emancipation of the being. Ophelia's mother is Spain (foolish as it was). The Stick bug as the media portrayed as the"follow me to the Labyrinth" where Ophelia meets the Faun (Pan)... Another quote leader "im here to help you" kind of guy. Although it really has it's best interest in mind. The stick bug becomes a fairy along with the Faun's fairies (media reporters). Ophelia's yet to be born brother represents hope.The Republican soldiers (rebels) represent the "few". There are more characters in the film. I'm going to use the characters above for the effect im after. Watch either movie to understand my point. I can only surmise here... The current lack of interest in the condition of the Human society is troubling to me to the point of wanting to tear my head off and throw it at people to get their attention! On a grand scale, society is playing the part of Oskar (Tin Drum) as well as to compare Ophelia's mother as society too. Take your choice. They are , at the end of the day one and the same. Want to get a good idea about where society is headed? Let's remove politics and religion out of the mix... They are both at once confusing and pointless. Take a look now without these two in the scheme of it all. Get's pretty simple! From this point on we are now equals. One HUMAN race. Now let's take out boarders and patriotism. Wow! Less and less to worry about. Now let's remove wealth and the monetary systems world wide. Disease and starvation almost disappear. There are no longer corporations or pharmaceutical companies monopolizing everything.... Including drugs. Crime withers to a tiny problem. Without boarders or governments or Corporations nor religious difference there is no longer an excuse for war. Without these distractions education can now be free for every person everywhere. Opps I almost forgot my least favorite parasite... Media. Well, they're no longer needed as there are no corporations, governments, lobby,religion,countries ets to stir up trouble with. Who needs them? Goodbye media liars. Glad to see ya go. Technology would leap forward instantly without restrictions. What a concept. What a load... Im for it. Are you? Watch the 2 movies I started this blog with. Us my character analogy. Your eyes had better open up soon. We really are getting close to running out of time. We are waiting for you to pull away from the herd of sheep...
