"The crying (dirge) of the warrior"
A slow Irish warrior song style - See "Handsome Cabin Boy" by Kate Bush
Synopsis:
(I come from a land of war and battle. It was my life. To protect my community I needed to be a warrior and there was value in it.
I fought many brave battles and I was honored for my willingness to lay my life down to protect my community.)
(Now I am displaced in a world that is constantly safe. There is no true protection I can give. This is unnatural.)
That we as humans come from a place of fighting to protect what's our's, and in a large enough society, where our protection is
far off in the distance, and we are here in a place that is "safe", what is a warrior to do?
----------------------------
You need to illustrate this:
We need to illustrate the dangerous path of corporate-government control over populations.
Greed and power is soon to put a strangle-hold on true revolutionary change (through the reduction of civil liberties
and the invasion of personal privacy, combined with corruption in government) and this is dangerous.
This is a sliding path, like morality in society- it needs to be constantly fought- there will always be (pressure for a greater
and greater increase in these problems).
The further we travel down this path the more difficult it will
be to free humanity from this, until it is fundamentaly impossible.
It used to be the case that the populace could rise up, take arms, and overthrow the "status quo" because it was overly corrupted.
With modern technology used by society, and governments, this is soon to become impossible.
We are living in a very dangerous time- where the free will of humanity is at stake.
-----------------------------
A movie featuring a relationship that is continually in a loop. The protaganist is a male.
The male passionately loves a girl (he truly loves her, and this is consistently shown in the movie).
The male is disfunctional in life, and particularly relationship-wise; the girl is your average relatively healthy, but imperfect girl.
The girl has a "low profile" in the movie, but enough to communicate the plot and her basic (fundamental) love for him,
and whatever is necessary to create the necessary elements of the movie (comedy (if that's what the movie becomes), drama,etc).
Throughout the movie he has a male friend that he communicates with, giving insight into the male's thoughts.
The friend is a narrative tool for the movie, and acts as such. (does not give a verbal narrative).
The male has a family which frames his disfunction, and is shown as being a reason behind his disfunction.
The truth, and heart of the story revolves around the passionate love of the man for the women- this is very important.
He has fairly important things from his past that he hasn't dealt with (familiy stuff or otherwise), and the importance of this becomes
more and more obvious as the movie progresses (but is there throughout the movie). This thing or group of things is the goliath/dragon in the movie.
The girl ends up dumping the boy in Story 1 due to the disfunctionality of the boy in the relationship. The male feels he didn't do anything wrong.
He is distraught, and at one point "freaks out".
After "freaking out", the male is confused; He has been placed back in time to the beginning of his relationship with the girl.
In this, Story 2, the male acts in a similar way to how he acted in Story 1, as he feels that he did little wrong. His general position
this story is that he's doing little wrong, and many times actually blames The male is again dumped.
Reset again, and Story 3, the male is at the beginning of the relationship again. He reflects somewhat on the relationship.
He superficially changes how he acts in some situations.
Again, failure.
Story 4. Now he significantly looks at the relationship. He makes a significant attempt to change how he acts. This shows some promise.
He is unable to "hold it together" in the relationship due to the disfunctionality of his own life.
He sees that the relationship isn't going to work, well before she dumps him. He shouts "AGAIN!"
Story 5. He goes into therapy and self-help groups. He makes a concerted effort to change himself, and this shows great promise.
Things are much better. The girl is willing to "go all the way" with him (i.e., long-term). His change is blocked at a certain point.
He becomes aware that his change is "blocked" towards the end of this story. The girl wants to get married, and he feels "in a bind", because
he sees, with the help of therapy, self-help, and otherwise, that she deserves "better". After much consideration he says "Again!"
Story 6. Through therapy, groups, and self-realization, he finds that to heal fully he needs to
(confront/apologize/forgive/bring closure to) his past/(a thing or group of things from his past) (family, maybe others) and forgive.
He begins to go through this work.
After one of these confrontation/forgiveness/apologies/closures he leaves. His girl is waiting for him.
He takes her hand and they walk away.
Movie ends.
[What are the most important points of the beginning of the story are the novelty of having a second chance, and the realization of the truths
of the relationship rather than what the protagonist initially feels.
What are the most important points of the middle of the story are the path of self-growth, and a (sea) change for the protaganist as far
viewing himself goes, what's important in his life, selflessness in the relationship, and the beginning of a crystallization of things of his
past that control him now.
What are the most important points of the end of the story is continuing to be more selfless- more concerned about what's best for the girl,
and the solidification of the things in his past as his "dragon to fight".]
This still needs to be fleshed out to be made viable.

"The colors fades"
Art piece- as a standing piece of art, or a moving, performance art piece (in a small space- per art museum/show), and/or a video
A sheet of white cloth (like a bed sheet). The sheet has visual representations of the physical aspect of human existence-
- People, buildings, businesses, "things".
Most of it though, is people. Very realistic illustrations of people- either through pictures or video.
The act of washing the sheet is shown. After each wash the illustrations are more faded, eventually fading completely.
-------------------------
A new Martin Luther King Jr. video, featuring him speaking before Washington D.C. in his "I have a dream speach".
But in this video, a new speech is over-dubbed (with a mlk impersonator) with him lambasting today's black youth, rappers, and media.
"Thinking wasting school and "thugging" is cool, wasting potential, having babies as kids"
Basically- "wtf?" "You're fucking retarded" "What's wrong with you?"
Have Hopsin write the words.
(Hopsin per lyrasist- Ill mind of hopsin)
----------------------
"Spiral of shame"
Individuals are in a circle. They illustrate the (internal) spiral of shame @ blame.
Ideally they are all the same person, but perhaps different people costumed the same (e.g., all with fake mustaches);
this would give some light-heartedness to the video, which might be overall positive.
Sequel: Same situation, but then other variables are added that break the "spiral of shame", to illustrate what does so.

Video
Set to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"
Rocket attack sirens are heard. People on the outskirts of a city.
Filming past people
Couples are each sitting close (intimately) together against a wall looking out and up.
They are happy or neutral.
Zoom on one couple- the wife is pleasantly and closely holding the hand of the husband.
The wife makes pleasant observational comments about the view of the city they have.

Video, with cgi or maybe just animated.
A naked newborn baby is carried by a parent or parents. on a flesh-colored terrain.
The baby is cradled horizontally to the ground, on it's back, over the arms/hands of the parent/parents.
A very life-like body
The baby grows into a youngster in the same position, and then the child is somehow shown as being carried by more than just
the parent(s)- uncles, grandparents, aunts.
The youngster grows into a young adult and is somehow shown as being carried by the community.
The person becomes an adult. Stands up on the hands of the community, and cradles his/her arms. On his/her arms appears a newborn baby.
The hands of the community become the terrain that the new adult is walking on.
Looped video.

Video, social, art
Title of series "Being".
A video series of 3 or more videos. Video 1 is the main one and should be treated as such. The following videos are just "sequels".
The music of these videos is core and fundamental to the videos.
Video 1:
Happy music.
There are people in beautiful flower costumes (paper with large flower shapes around the heads,
the beauty comes from the design and color on the front of the flowers) on in droves along the side of the track,
but as the person moves about the track, the flowers are turned to the side, and their side-on view is one that makes it look as though
the flowers are blurred, and also the flowers from this side-view are pale- almost bleached of life.
Video starts with flower people dancing. Then the woman is shown quickly moving about the track. A woman is shown moving about a track
oval with a drawn face (as in a constant state of strain/focus).
A 3/4 materialized person is behind the woman, forcing her forward w/ a whip.
The "flowers" are turned to the side.
The woman slows and stops.
The flowers turn and show their beauty. The materialized person is yelling (without sound) at the woman to
keep/start running (again). People- some adults and a couple children, come out from the flowers and dance around the woman.
The woman blinks and looks around. Soon she anxiously looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
After a period of time she stops again. This time she pauses more and walks up to the flowers. Touches the beautiful designs
on them. She briefly holds the hands of the people dancing about her, but does not dance.
All this time the whipper is in consternation. She eventually looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
Last time. She stops again. She becomes amazed with the beauty of the flowers and laughs exuberantly andsincerely while dancing
a little with the people. She looks back at the whipper. She walks back and grapples with the whipper. She wrestles the whipper
to the ground and the whipper is represented as being dead. The woman turns back and dances with the people while the flowers dance.
She then goes down the track dancing with the people. Some flowers have gone onto the track also and are dancing with them.
Video 2
Same start, same environment, different music
This time a man. Same start.
He stops once. The first stop happens twice. He keeps running. He becomes old while running. Eventually he collapses.
One hand flat on the ground. The turned (bland) flowers in the background. He dies then turns to dust.
Video 3 and 4
Videos 1 and 2 are done with parents, and their children are with them.
The children learn from the parents through being with them, and at the end of each video mimic what the parents did.
--------------------------
A generic "classified ad" representing all of humanity.
Looking for parents that will protect me, teach me to be healthy and strong, love me, be interested in what I'm interested in,
and encourage me.
Looking for a family that will help me grow as an individual, that will allow me to contribute my strength to them, and will contribute
its strength to me. A family that will help me start to realize for myself, a purpose in my life.
Looking for friends that will share their lives with me. That will share their hopes and fears with me, and will allow me to do the
same with them. Friends that will share with me, the difficulties in life, as well as the triumphs. Friends that will love me
regardless. Friends that I can lovingly give to and that will do the same to me.
Looking for a community that will help me further grow and improve as an individual. A community that will, again, allow me to
contribute to it in meaningful ways, so my life gains further purpose. A community that I can meaningfully contribute to, and that
further enrichens my life in meaningful ways.

Video
A peopley depiction of the spending of the United states (how much is spent on x,y,z)
Crowds, groups of people represent the different "areas" of spending- all within a well-defined area of ground, like a football field.
People in the groups represent different facets, opinions of each area of spending.
Video has a fun feel.
--------------------------------------
Video
A peopley depiction of human groups (businesses, governments), and what is the power behind them-
what causes them to act the way they do.
The groups are represented by people, and the power behind them are people also, all costumed appropriately.
A pleasantly voiced narrative.
A fun background song.
The people are moving in fun ways. Some moving around of each group and the "power" behind them.
