Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards

29 May

The film is an allegorical comment on the moral neutrality of technology and the potentially destructive powers of propaganda. Blackwolf’s secret weapon is propaganda, used to incite and motivate his legions and terrorize the good fairy folk of Montagar; Blackwolf also utilizes technology for evil ends. However, in the end, it is Avatar’s willingness to use a technological tool (a handgun pulled from “up his sleeve”) which saves them all. Bakshi also states that Wizards “was about the creation of the state of Israel and the Holocaust, about the Jews looking for a homeland, and about the fact that fascism was on the rise again”.

Rebel Clown Army

26 Mar

Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) is an international theatrical collective of anti-authoritarian activists, dressed as soldier-clowns. I sometimes see them in demonstrations in Israel an Palestine, and feel that their protest is the strongest, most effective, non-violent and unstoppable of any other group of protesters on the streets. Even when they get arrested or suffer from police brutality, the images they produce are hilarious, and are a great demonstration of the stupidity of the state and it’s forces. They are psychedelic in their creativity and humor, the direct fluffy assault on people’s conciseness in attempt to broaden and open it.

“Because rebels transform everything – the way they live, create, love, eat, laugh, play, learn, trade, listen, think and most of all the way they rebel.”
