After witnessing a bullfight firsthand, I have no desire to see it again. I have no problem with killing animals for food, but torturing them does nothing for me.
Here is a brief history of Spanish bullfighting, as written by a matador. coloquio.com/toros/bullhist.html
He mentions that it is more of a dance than a sport, and the beauty lies in the dexterity and gracefulness of the matador as he dodges the charging bull. I could see that aspect, but I couldn't silence the more immediate instinct to put a suffering animal out of its misery. Regardless of grace, he is still out there toying with a seriously injured animal for entertainment.
As my Dad said while we were watching it, "If I had my pistol I'd run out there and shoot him in the head." I wasn't sure which one he was talking about.

-Q
the way when the action got fast everything falls apart
like reality was sortof crumbling... maybe try compressing it at an even crappier rate?
very direct raw footage
=AQ
.....cruel.. ...
...... the bull and the man both being sentient beings and charged with life, are a very good metaphors for my modern life. In the bull I see my own free will fighting for survival, While about me whirls a bloody unseen knife. The matador I cast as all banking, his blades their cuts and stabs, the wars
they create, to spread hate and debt.
Your films make me think, you make me want to exist in a better, fairer, sustainable place. Where, how and when?
But nice shading, well done.
