Ode to the Whale of Christ
Film by David Matthew Johnson
The Sublime Hubris
A man aimlessly wanders around town and silently judges the people he sees. The thoughts and judgments slowly becomes more aggressive and hateful as he continues to watch the those around him.
This film covers the dangers of extremism and getting carried away with illogical hate. The people stirring the pot generally not carrying out the action but getting the poor and the working class to battle with each other.
