What I've Done
Yesterday I downloaded Linkin Park's latest music video "What I've Done". Man, it is INTENSE! The video reflects on a variety of social issues including wars, destruction, famine, racism, pollution, global warming and other crimes committed by humanity.
The picture is unbelievably crisp and clear. The reflections off the drummer's cymbals, the clear blue sky, the sun rays behind the band are just beautiful! And Linkin Park's music and Chester Bennington's voice are just the thing for the lyrics which are about regret and healing.
The video includes some shocking scenes you've probably never seen before, even if you watch the news frequently. Like real footage of a soldier in a war who runs towards the camera, nervously activates a flamethrower and iginites a horrendous massive fire towards you.
You'll also see a group of American military officials explode an actual atomic bomb in the desert and observe it from just a few kilometres away. The bomb gives out such a bright light that for a second the desert disappears and all you can see is a blinding white. But one of the officials is so cool about it he has his back towards the bomb and doesn't even bother to look back to see what's happened.
In another scene the shockwave from an atomic bomb blows snow off of forest trees from the side on a perfectly horizontal path and then bends the trees like they were made of rubber!
There's also footage of Nazi concentration camps during WWII and enthusiastic marching of Nazi groups still active today.
I've got to admit that although I think man should feel guilty for doing so much wrong, I feel a little proud of myself for being part of our modern world. I mean mankind has so much power and influence today that he has developed nuclear weapons to efficiently wipe out his enemies and he is actually raising the temperature of planet Earth!
Also in the video are scenes from the wars in Vietnam, Palestine and Iraq, the September 11 attacks, and political figures like Ghandi, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Hitler and Saddam Hussein. So if you're interested in modern history and would like to review the past century in just over 3 minutes, watch this video!
