Short film made at the height of the Cold War. Arms proliferation as taken over the world. The vultures are flying above civilization and over what seems to be New York City. At a gathering of some sorts, a politician from the right or an arm producer (either one fits the bill) is giving a speech on the importance of protecting ourselves against our neighbours. To protect peace, we must have the latest war machines available. It's actually a reflection on what some countries, without naming them, are adopting as their policy to keep the world order. Whatever is the cost, we must protect ourselves. It's also the way a lot of politicians from the right are thinking. While the man is doing his speech, a Frankenstein-like ogre (who symbolize greed, profits and belligerence all at the same time)is growing bigger and bigger. He finally explode. From his belly, blood and arms kill everything around. A lesson for those who think they can promote peace with killing machines.
75/100 (**½). Seen at home, in Toronto, on December 16th, 2004.
