Paths of Hate

Underneath the mask of a "human" face we are driven relentlessly by unconscious identification with our egos.

This is insane.

This is normal.

Had they crawled up to each other and looked at each other in stillness they would have recognised consciousness in each other and the fighting would have stopped (only at the point the ego had no other option - too tired and injured).

The white trails during the fight and the red trails at the end represent the wiring of the brain that has hard coded our violent natures in us and have given us a history of pain and suffering.

It is time to transcend the ego.

Right now.
 
You cant really let go of the Ego because it is your id, you being, your conscience state. My old Sensei would always say Educate your Ego and It will set you Free!!!

Yes. I would have said something similar a number of years ago.

You can transcend however - try this. I cannot do it all the time...yet....but there is improvement all the time.

The realisation has changed my life.

With a lot less over the top action I'd gladly accept a WW2 movie in that style. With the same soundtrack.
 
I saw a few previews of this on YouTube. I would love to watch this movie, but where can I find it? The link above does not work.
 
Artistically a great piece of work. As for the title, atmosphere, music ... I don't like it at all! It really breathes hate and destruction.

But the theme is definitely anti-hate. The film illustrates the consequences. Notice the Rosary gets broken and the picture of the bride gets ruined and lost. Religion and family are destroyed by hate. Finally, the two lose their humanity and their lives. Good theme, I think.
 
But religion and family, so often lead to war. Its an us versus them world. As we each live mistrusting of others, fearful and insecure, our needs go unexpressed, desires get frustrated and those who are not like us, become fodder for the grave. In the end, its because we all stand singularly alone with nothing but our gods and the few we think we love, that we go to war. We'd rather kill than reach out. After all, There can be only one: Second place is no place and winner takes all.. Its only human.
We're such a pathetic species when our souls stand naked.

Oh, no. In my opinion psychology is something transpersonal, at least. You always interact with others, and are always embedded in some kind of peer group. I think Pam is right with her statement.
Look at that video. There's an personal seeming inter-relationship at first, which is an interaction, not a single player game. It transcends towards an universal violence probably only found among humans at the end. The reasons are embedded in cultural, religious or other motives, look at the end of the video, with the shapes of all kind of stereotype fighters coming up.

Hey, Björn, it's great you found another link for that. I'd like to buy that masterpiece, in 1080 quality in 3D (that would come great!) and 5.1 surround quality, don't understand why they don't sell it. Love the soundtrack.

Cheers,
Mark
