Description:
Gradually the true nature of the porno begins to show as you go further into the film. For the record, for anybody curious, my teacher knew I had edited an early 80s porn for the video, though the students generally had no idea. It was a bit of a mindfuck for everybody. All voices are done by yours truly.

Sorry about lines that appear, happened in conversion to vimeo. You can download the original (hi-quality) MP4 at the bottom right of this page if preferred.

I chose to make a video for my culminating task for senior-year (Canadian) Politics class was regarding the war on terror and whether or not it's effective/justified. I wanted to incite a variety of emotions in the viewer while still being educational and entertaining - so I took a porno from '81, remixed it into an an American-perspective War on Terror Porno Musical where the main character goes into trances at the subject of discussion and, gradually, the true nature of the porno begins to rise (especially the ending).

My goal was to have a video in contrast to the one-dimensional views we are fed by the media on everything surrounding the war on terror, from the history of US intervention in the middle east to the economy and compromises to liberty, incite all forms of emotions from the viewer within the 15-minute timespan (sexy, funny, depressing) while still being entertaining and educational.

Videos used (note: I don't [necessarily/] agree with the documentaries, I haven't watched most half of them, they were used primarily for the footage):
Zeitgeist
Why we Fight
Rise of the Police State
The Wall (briefly)
Talk Dirty to Me
And other 9/11, 'terrorist', US army footage downloaded individually from P2P networks or their websites respectively

Future project:
My friend and I, both into film and editing (I'm the filmmaker of this video, ftr), are collaborating on our English project due in the next two weeks.

It's an analysis of the book "Brave New World" by Alduos Huxley, which, if you haven't read it, is basically about an Orwellian utopian society. In ONE part of the video, we're going to, in practice, compare the totalitarian society of BNW with our own. We'll do this by him filming me going to the library (probably a few libraries, and thankfully we don't have the 'patriot act' up here), we're going to look for the following books:

* Communist Manifesto
* Anarchist's Cookbook (bomb-making guide and more)
* The Qu'ran
* State and Revolution by Lenin
* A fully automatic rifle manual

From afar, he'll then film the whole encounter as I rent the aforementioned literature and the expression on the face of the clerk, and anything else that should later happen. The reason for this is that in the book, the populous is very conditioned into accepting what is set out as the norms for society with hypnopaedia and control of the media. So, we're going to try and break some social constructs, hope for a priceless reaction that we can catch on film, and compare the conditioning of humankind here and in the fictional book.
