Chaos

Whether political, sociological or social questions. In one's own life and that of others. Living, eating, loving. In art and philosophy. Everywhere man asks the question of "naturalness". How do I behave naturally? Do I have to behave naturally? What is natural? What is nature? This question occupies the most diverse people, have the most varied traits and characteristics. Man and woman as natural order or structures created by man? Meat consumption as natural predator behavior or factory farming? Nature-related living and urban planning? The topic covers all questions of human life. In this short film, this question should be discussed abstractly. Not by specific subject-relatedness, but by the juxtaposition of subjective ideas about the abstract nature of nature from the perspective of a Western white man.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie has a great message for gang-bangers about "ending the game..." hence "...The Game Is Dead..." This movie would be best appreciated by people who have lived similar lives as the characters in the movie and or people who want to get an idea of what happens to those who choose a self-destructive lifestyle on the basis of a great big lie. I found the movie to be more true to life because I was raised in a similar environment. The story content was good and kept my interest. Although there are some extreme graphics in this movie, it would be a great source of street-education for youth over the age of 13 years old.
