Haven't seen this movie, "A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence," , but I do love the title, and it sounds like a movie I would enjoy. And I love this from Ray Pride:
"Andersson seems also to hew to Emil Cioran’s shrugging, “Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on.”
Yes, maybe we have this evolutionary tree thing all wrong. Maybe it's the microscopic, single-celled, short-lived organisms; the beings with focus and simplicity who are at the top of the chain. And maybe Human Beings are actually at the bottom. We are so complicated, conflicted, contradictory. Almost like some malignant collection of dislocated parts. Of course, we are so Ego-inflated we think we are the best, smartest, most beautiful. Funny.
