They had killed themselves over our dying forests, over manatees maimed by propellers as they surfaced to drink from garden hoses; they had killed themselves at the sight of used tires stacked higher than the pyramids; they had killed themselves over the failure to find a love none of us could ever be. In the end, the tortures tearing the Lisbon girls pointed to a simple reasoned refusal to accept the world as it was handed down to them, so full of flaws.

the last untouched civilization earth

Last month BBC was able to capture the first film footage of an untouched tribe in the Amazon.

When I say untouched, I mean they are the last group of people living free from any other societal influence. They have never been contacted; people want it to stay this way.

Their living structures are beautiful. They looked up in wonder as BBC's helicopter flew over their land. The innocence coming out of their inquisitive stares is astonishing, and I can't help but wonder what this world would be like if we all lived such existences. While they are so limited in what they know about this world, I feel like they are the only ones who know what living and surviving actually entails.

While we all think we live free lives, I wonder if these people are the ones able to experience the purity which life actually is. Lives tainted only by nature...

let's keep them in peace

coleridge

Like one that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.

“During rehearsals, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton found out that they both hated the new Volkswagen Beetle with a passion, and for the scene where Tyler and The Narrator are hitting cars with baseball bats, Pitt and Norton insisted that one of the cars be a Beetle. As Norton explains on the DVD commentary, he hates the car because the Beetle was one of the primary symbols of 60s youth culture and freedom. However, the youth of the 60s had become the corporate bosses of the 90s, and had repackaged the symbol of their own youth, selling it to the youth of another generation as if it didn’t mean anything. Both Norton and Pitt felt that this kind of corporate selling out was exactly what the film was railing against, hence the inclusion of the car; “It’s a perfect example of the Baby Boomer generation marketing its youth culture to us. As if our happiness is going to come by buying the symbol of their youth movement, even with the little flower holder in the plastic molding. It’s appalling to me. I hate it.”
