Two Video-Clips I Want to Share

Two very different video-clips that struck me forcibly this week. The first – well, have a look at it, and see HERE

The second you will find HERE.

Of the second, we might say well, this is evolution in action. The birds that swallow the plastic junk will not survive, those that turn their beaks up at it will survive, which is presumably how all species learnt to avoid toxic non-foods.

But what can one say of the first?  Do societies where girls and women are free and educated have a greater chance of survival?  Because if so, these Neanderthal males are fighting a battle they must ultimately lose.

John Kent Harrison’s HELEN OF TROY

[Continuing from my previous post, King of Ithaca ...] Perhaps the central focus of this film, this version, is the way a powerful and arrogant macho alpha male lusts after a “slut” who dares to refuse to make herself available. The “slut” in question is of course Helen (Sienna Guillory – perfect in the role), and the man, Rufus Sewell (an equally perfect, megalomaniac, Agamemnon) – and the song is by Sting! Enjoy it!
