Sigg Jones

The new blog post for today is a video called "Sigg Jones". It has very little dialogue and a lot of action in it. The plot is complicated and I don't fully understand what is going on. It goes from drinking Gatorade to clashing with Nike's. I would have liked it better if I could actually follow what is going on. The story starts out in a arena and the two contestants get fighting each other a little early. The fight continues on in the streets where they exchange back and forth with punches and kicks.  It ends with peace being made after the skinny man enters the muscular "Sigg Jones" body and inserts his shoes. Overall this story I did not enjoy very much, but it is below so you can make your own opinions.

Second Wind

This interesting movie has an interesting story that kept my interest throughout the movie. It has a very artistic feel to the story and is told through art. It uses no words but you easily tell what is going on. My favorite character was the tall cat who enjoys blowing whatever he could find. He uses his strong wind to save the old man and blow away the angry windmill. My favorite part of the video was the art in the movie. You should definitely check out the video below!

Ninja vs. DJ Madnes

When you combine bizarre backgrounds, random characters, and events just as strange as the rest of the movie you get this video. It is so strange it is hard to comprehend. When you just see the characters it can make you mind wander, let alone the rest of the movie. If I was to describe the enemy in the movie I would say he is a deejay cowboy robot monster. I personally did not like how strange the video was, but I will let you make your own judgement.

Galactic Mail

When you see your next mail man do you ever think about all of the work involved in getting it? Well life is no picnic as a mail man. In this silent film you get to see the truth of the mail services. The setting of the film is in the future. There are jet packs, space suits, and much more. The fighting creates an interesting story that is carried on without the use of words. The ending is just as humorous. I enjoyed this video to the fullest and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did.

"Let go" by Japanese Pop Stars

I don’t even know where to begin with this “Let go” by the Japanese Pop Stars. Its theme was so bizarre and strange I couldn’t comprehend the video. The artwork was the creepiest part of the video. The animations and the disgusting images of explosion and death brought on a strange new element to the video. The song gets ingrained in your cranium so easy and doesn’t leave. I won’t ever see this video again even if you tie me the chair. If you are still want to watch the video it is below.

Flower Chucker

This is one of Banksy's artwork that he made on a tall building. The majority of the piece is very dark. The artwork is a guy in a black hoody and has a bandana over his head. He is hiding his identity from the government who will punish him. The guy is in very little detail. He is posed like he is going to throw the object in his hand. The object in his hand is a colorful boutique of flowers. It is rich color and is in heavy details. The flowers become the center of your attention. He looks like a civilian on the streets. I think the message behind the piece is that soldiers throw bombs and grenades, while civilians throw peace and they strive for peace. Also another idea of this piece meaning is that he the flower chucker is being watched and hunted. He might die at any moment. Before he dies he wants to pass on hope of a bright future before he dies so he throws it so it can picked up by anyone who believes and that they could spread it to others.
