Sad Movie

Few documentary films have captivated me from start to finish. And there are no subtitles, so I can hear it from the beginning to the end without feeling the constraints and obstacles, I am also very pleasantly surprised. Although it was a big reunion, the will of the people finally won the victory. But I think it's still a tragedy. This victory was also short-lived and tragic.

The film uses a large number of live recording images, and the chaotic passion and violent scene are mixed with calm thinking. But I think they don't understand either, as if no one understands it.

Why. This is a problem. For what. What the African said and proposed, with or without the WTO, seems to be insoluble. Yes, maybe even better, maybe they still have the opportunity to stand up and say it. Good for some innocuous applause. It's good to win some senseless sympathy.

I think, the people who made this film, wanted to say. Maybe it's difficult, maybe I don't know what the future will be like. But at least, there is a trace of change, even if it is temporary, even if it is uncertain. But at least, we are struggling for it, paying for it, and having a head start.

We are all struggling.

Battle in Seattle quotes

  • Jay: I don't blame you. I mean, I do, but... Shit, you're not the problem. You're just doing your job, i guess. The people I'm really trying to fight are the ones who destroy so much, and they hurt so many lives. Not just one. Literally, millions. And no one ever points a gun at them. You know, they just seem so, unaccountable. Untouchable. Just seems kind of fucked that you're... You and me are the ones that have to fight each other.

  • Mayor Jim Tobin: Be tough on your issues but be gentle on my town.
