Art should bother you sometimes

If I'm the last person to see this, why didn't you tell me about it? A film website I enjoy had a link to this short film, which is, I think, worth your time:



The film has a bit of a "devo" feel to it, if that makes sense, and I like the way it taps into the viscera (if you will) of childhood ... because there is something fundamentally effin' weird about childhood and children. Laugh, but you know what I mean.

Undeveloped point #1: An economist should write a paper about this.


Undeveloped point #2: The idea of tigers running around a tree until they turn into butter has always bothered me.

Anyhow, the filmmaker's website is here.

I should have stopped at 1:15, but I got to 3:33.

Sorry, but I felt that the viscera was stylized enough to be inoffensive. Okay, maybe not inoffensive exactly ...

Sooooo...death creates jewels? It must be art, because I'm corn-fused.

Regardless, though, it gives a whole new meaning to all those Elmer Fudd "kill-de-wabbit" cartoons. Clearly, he was some kind of psychotic pagan freak.

Ew.

Am I really the only one who sees past the tiny little scenes of stylized butchery to how interesting this is? It's at least as delightful as it is disturbing.
