No One Does It Like You



The use of childish toy soldiers, ballerinas, and ghosts along with very graphic violence at the end really drew me in and shocked me at the same time. This video debuted at the MoMA in NY last week. What does this video convey to you?

Wow, what a beautiful piece. The sets, costume. direction/choreography, and general palette are stunning and everything thats occuring is high-energy, provocative, "spooky" and tragic. Seemed also like a nice combination of low and high tech methods of production.

I think this piece is really beautiful and thought-provoking. It to me seems like a story about the beauty of the battle, the graphic violence of war, and the loss of human life.

I agree with both. Very haunting and poetic. Also it's interesting to think about the naivete of a ghost.
