I just watched this film in its entirety today. It is 2 hours long and captivating. This is a short film by Tarr's standards. Salah just posted another clip of a different film of Tarr's on his blogsite Unfettered Swallow. (I have a link for his site at my site). This second film is 450 minutes long!
The song, as sung by Vali Kereke, in Hungarian, ttanslates as follows:
"It's finished...it's all over...over...and there won't be another, it won't be good ever again...maybe never more. It's like a nightmare, where is somebody new? Where will he come from, if he comes? Or, won't he come ever again? Maybe never more. Take it, or leave it. What can you do? You lose your words, yet, cannot go. It's been over long ago. It's good there's Shangri-La, good to know I won't be here long, take it, or leave it. So, honey, why? Why must it be over...over now? And there won't be another. It won't be good ever again. Maybe never more. He's got my soul, things are going his way, without him this world is barren....with him life is full and happy. How could it be over? Silly. Never again. Maybe never more. It's over. There's no end...no end now. And it can't fade... ever again...never maybe...maybe never more."
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.
