A radical glance into the archaic age, phasing through the present and softly diminishing into the future, Das Rad has presented a summarized version survival on earth. Rocks, which have been the stagnant witnesses through the making and apocalypse of several civilizations, play a key role in the film. The geologic aspect in form of a massive ocean where various seasons, place beautiful metaphor to depict transition. The contagious lichen irritating the backs of rock heads, the skinny clouds taking over the planet and then the sharpness of sun peeling away the darkness straighten up the proximities with the cycle of growth. Though history claims to have several different ages coming each time after the eclipse of Stone Age, the film gives a quick narration of the development and destruction caused by the mankind. The invention of wheel, the inheritance of roads and transportation hence resulting into the disastrous state of nature from the beginning to the world’s end is the key message provided by the film.
what i liked the most in this film is that the director has very nicely depicted the relative time of human beings n rocks.....
ReplyDeletewhn the rocks r talkin 2 each other, the rest of the world is movin in a very high speed n whn human beings' actions are shown in normal speed, thn rocks come to a stand still..... i loved this thought!
yeah, i was wondering too. The director was way much crazy than any of us can imagine. The way he ran the camera,the way he used eyes in rocks..awesome!
