It may take 3 clicks to get the video to play. You also may have to click the "unmute" button on the video screen to hear sound. But it will eventually begin.
My apologies for this irritation.
Excerpt From:
"Jacob's Ladder"
(The Hospital Scene)
--Tears For Fears
This sequence defies description. On the one hand it's both horrifying and disgusting.
On the other hand, it's like watching a 3-dimensional moving Francis Bacon painting.
Bacon painted people and animals as mutated into bizarre shapes, and sometimes there was violence and blood involved. But because these were "art" or "paintings' by an established and well known and respected artist, there was no furor over their release.
So my experience of this sequence is the same as looking at a Francis Bacon painting. It's disturbing, but compelling at the same time. "The beauty of decay." The beauty of atrocity.
I might have to put this warning on several posts: The images in this video are FAKE movie special effects. NOT REAL.
