Micmacs: arms producers face victims

πŸ’‘ What if weapons manufacturers* had to face the people whose lives they destroy?** πŸ€” πŸŽ₯ That’s Micmacs! One of my favorite films, a masterpiece by creative genius Jean-Pierre Jeunet*** πŸ™Œ

The protagonist, Bazil, loses his father to a landmine and is later shot in the head by a stray bullet. By chance he finds the companies that made both weapons. He recruits the most unlikely gang to teach a lesson to the giants of the arms industry: inventive scavenger Davids against untouchable Goliaths. πŸ’ͺ

πŸ’“ An anti-war, uplifting satire on a dark topic. πŸ’‘ Surprising, sad, fun, thought-provoking, frustrating, hopeful... 🎢 Beautiful characters, music, photography, rhythm, and inventiveness.

Weapons destroy. Their creators and sponsors profit safely, with total impunity. πŸ€‘ πŸ’° Is it ok to wish them nightmares? Bad karma? Guilt? A persistent fear that the ghosts, families and friends of their victims may Β haunt – or even hunt – them? πŸ‘»

How may I be sponsoring weapons, killings and destruction? πŸ’‘ In 2025, what will I do to build a just and peaceful world? 🌍✌️
