It'd be really hard for me to explain the impression Nigel Rolfe made during his lecture yesterday.
So I recreated it.
I found the song he played and edited it together with the Zapruder film that I looked forward and backward in the same method he did.
I am going to post a link to the page, so don't click on it if you know it's going to bother you negatively.
Ideally, I'd like you to plug headphones into your computer and when the music comes on, turn it up as loud as you can and imagine that you are watching this projected onto a wall, larger than life.
it may take a bit to load because it's a large file so just wait until the bar at the bottom is full and it's all ready and hopefully it won't skip in the middle. if so, i'll just have to play it for you once i get home, but try. if it doesn't work for you in safari, try firefox, but it might work in safari, just not on my computer.
-click here if you want to see (a version of) what i saw-
not for the squeamish! but you really should force yourself to watch it.

Em- in what context did he show this? This is related to a nagging fear I've had lately & I'm afraid may continue to have for the next 4 years...
the context was about how we choose to forget certain tragedies and events in the world. he presented facts about how america knew when the concentration camps were being built but did absolutely nothing about it until they officially entered the war. also about how we ignore hiroshima and that what we did there is still affecting unborn children etc etc. he also showed a slideshow of close up images of men leaping from the world trade center towers.
It has been a long time since I've seen that film. We do choose to forget. I was only 16 but I can still recall every moment of the day Kennedy died.
My mom lived in Naples before the Allied invasion and remembers those atrocities all too well. We all need to be reminded of past and present brutalities: battle deaths, civilian casualties of war, democide, famine caused by the economic disruption, etc.... Well done.
