One Red Blood

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

In the 2002 film starring David Gulpilil called The Tracker we see many questions posed by the film, and answered by the viewer. Typical of a film I suppose but what isn’t typical are the powerful close-ups, overwhelming soundtrack, context and David Gulpilil.

Also on the DVD is a documentary of David Gulpilil by Gulpilil. The title is One Red Blood.

Gulpilil narrates and after being taken on a snapshot of his life he sums up that we are all brothers and sisters, with one red blood.

I dug that idea, despite leaving out some of the bloodless beings, because the concept uses color to unify rather than divide.

The Human Condition

I’ve always thought of this as the plight of being a human, or joy, or whatever grabs your fancy.

Then I realized that this is not the truth of it.

The human condition is a disease that the earth has.

We humans are like a virus (The Matrix) that the earth has caught and there ain’t no getting over it, or is there.

Quite possibly, the earth will outlast humans, actually it will, though the face of the earth will be different than it was before the advent of intelligence of humans and hence, the vanity of humanity. But then the earth has always been a dynamic evolving flowing fluid rock.

Get well soon.
