Negative imagery

today in class we watched most of a movie called faces of the enemy. i just wanted to point out a few things that i thought very interesting.
  • The murderer was talking about how the country did not get the way it was without someone working toward it. does anyone think that is one of the parts which relates to the current day?
  • the notion of all the artists studying at the same school of art makes some sense in that they are all thinking along the same lines of dehumanizing the enemy. plus they all see each others images and are probably affected by them in terms of their art.
  • the idea that the images make it really hard to pull back and try for peace makes sense because each side by that point veiws the other by the images they have produced and not as humans.

these are just a few things i wanted to comment on that the movie mentions.
