Ok so my main post is below this, “Holy—” but after my morning shower and breakfast, I need to get down a couple more ideas before class.
How about the way it would cut to the circus crowd/performers while someone other than the lion tamer spoke? Robot guy or mole rat guy would be describing robots or mole rats and the people in the stands or stage would be fitting the description. Brutal, Mr. Morris.
And that robot guy, he wants to be the father of a race! Was it him or Molerat who said people tend to let everyone die rather than save the one they can save? I think it was Molerat but it goes together. Robotguy is like the ancient monkey-father whose child was the first ape. He’s looking at it and understanding it will replace his whole race and way of life- and is kind of proud.
Topiary guy was the first guy I thought was God. It was a shot of him pruning, in black and white, shot from below… and the monologue was about tending his creations. At one point he said something like, “You remember what a bear looks like, then you make a bear.” At first, I thought he was Death or Damon the Mower. But he’s definately a deity. Inspired by that old lady to keep the garden in good condition. It doesn’t take an all night Milton reading to make a garden important.
Ah, I have homework to do before my next class. Goodbye.
