revolution


What is a revoltion?

For me revolution is any minority standing up to a stringer force and in this picture we can just a situation.

Why does the photo represent revolution to you?

This means revolution to me because it has the classic elements of romance literature. Those are man vs machine, man vs state.

Describe the imagery on the photo.

There is a wonderful lack of balance in the photograph. One side with the heavy and solid metal of the tanks on one side and on the other the fragile man. The everyday man coming home from work with his shopping bags, the action therefore is not extraordinary but that we all could accomplish.

The Trotsky

Last night I watched the film, on Halil's recommendation, The Trotsky. It is a Canadian film which may show you a different kind of movie than that you are used to seeing from America or England. The Canadian film sector often produces films that have different types of characters and story lines from those that are for mass consumption, or what you might have been exposed to in the theatres which usually show only the biggest blockbusters from the two biggest English speaking nations. I can recommend this film and if you have any thing that you think we all should see or just me, don't hesitate to tell me. I have included a link the film below, so if you are interested you can check it out as well.
