This was an interesting collaboration of films. They were quite provocative and at times I felt the creators must have been on some type of drug. The first film talked about the negative aspects of eternal recurrence. The video had a good way of getting out the message that one life is enough. I’m guessing the video is trying to convince people to live the most out of their one life instead of looking towards religion.
The second film was the hardest for me to understand. In the end, I think it gives a message that religion fills in the spaces of things people don’t understand. Instead of continuing to have that void, people want to believe there is an explanation for everything, but instead of science, they turn to religion. I felt as if I didn’t understand the third video either, even though the music and sound effects were catchy. In a sense, it could be showing the developments of science and how it continues to develop. It also gives sort of a small physics lessons. I had some mixed feelings about the last quote comparing humans to frozen popsicles, does it mean that science is our enlightenment or that science is unnecessary?
The fourth film was kind of a tacky video portraying the ability of deception to keep everyone happy. Sometimes in order to live in a peaceful world, the truth can be ignored. This must have been a pro-religious video. The fifth film was confusing. I think it was getting at the fact that while people are seemingly in control of their lives, they are actually only in control of small percentages of it.
