Do Geese See God?: A Palindrome Anthology

Product Information

POSSIBLE SPOILER I can appreciate the need to simply refuse to be rushed or have life commanded/directed by the time-clock. The "rat" life, as man in a rat cage running is cleverly depicted by the three blind mice, the mouse that is really the "weasel" which pops constantly from the turning of the handle; the quote of Einstein, re-configured to suggests that "time" cannot save, but confuses. And now that the series is finished, this movie was a nice way to bring some additional closure to the tale by helping another gunslinger on his path to the tower.

Take the 10 minutes out of your life to check it out, its worth the watch, and if it seems repetitive at times. I was very confused when I saw this because I think the film already has a surreal psychedelic tone. Steven Guarnaccia is an illustrator and designer, and Associate Professor at Parsons The New School for Design, where he was the director of the Illustration Program from 2004-2011. Taking off the watch was pretty much the final stroke in not allowing himself to be controlled by time and worried about being on time cause some unknown force say you have to be.I'm watching the same scene, the same people, interact in the same way and all I have to do is to stop and smell the roses.

I did not find the "product placements" to be intrusive -- which I'm sure is what the film makers intended. I watched the movie several times and each time I gained a greater understanding for his frustration in trying to reach his goals. In the downloaded version, the film runs through the sequence only about 1 1/2 times before he actually stops and smells the roses, then throws away his watch.The meaning of the film is found in the emotion, the rush, the pace, and the incongruent of the screen life with the evergreen that sits quietly at the "real screen" of the window of the city. This mysterious form of wordplay known as the palindrome--in which a group of phrases can be read both forwards and backwards--has bewitched and beguiled readers for centuries and, due to its mirrored, dualistic quality, was at one point considered to have magical powers.
