Anthology it does not consume it consumes

"The Titanic Syndrome", Jean-Albert Lelièvre and Nicolas Hulot

Duration: 1: 33 pm

The cause is noble, its promoter, Nicolas Hulot, sympathetic, and the convincing words. It takes a few assertions which, over time, have become evidence: you need to consume less - weapons, advertising, 4 x 4, electronic - because the Earth is in danger. While the rich become rich all by depleting the natural resources of the planet, poverty spreads in Lagos in the low-lying areas of Los Angeles. Certainly, scandal, denounced by René Dumont early in the 1970s, broke out on the screen. And the comments in voiceover for Paul Virilio, Mohammad Yunus, Al Gore or Théodore Monod come reinforce the theory. But fault of new perspectives, the film advance in disorder banging that unacceptable also unbearable images: Namibian women topless doing their shopping in air-conditioned supermarkets going ask before their cases for the telephoto of tourists; Chinese living miserably packed in iron boxes superimposed; serial killers fascinated by violence in video games... But the comment sur-écrit, read in a voice of afterlife, ultimately exasperating. Anthology: "it does not consume, it consumes." "we need find the happy sobriety." "prefer the other object." "excess is toxic." "choose, not to stand." "find the small intimate music making dance world"; "we have everything and do are satisfied with nothing while those who have nothing to satisfy all"; "revisit our imagination to the frontiers of Utopia". If Hulot radicalized his speech, not yet found the words to say how to borrow the decay paths.
