The most brilliant scene to me was when he was dreaming and was awoken by the falling of the floor lamp in his living room. I had a roommate once who would habitually find himself falling in his dream causing him to abruptly wake up. Apparently from him I learned this is a common sensation among people. With Mahmut, I found his distant and inanimate nature has led this common sensation of of one awaking from falling in his sleep to manifest in a lamp,something external, something inanimate and spiritless, falling in his place. With this, it makes sense that he is a photographer huh? It was most certainly a wonderful film. . And how do you get all of this from a 10 second clip? Sometimes I wonder with people. Perhaps I too should become a cultural critic, but not in the sense that Alpha claims. I found individuals like our esteemed SP here very strange. They go out of their way to find obscurity upon obscurity so they may seem "cultured" and "well-rounded". In my humble opinion, it's little more than another manifestation of their innate "holier than thou" attitude and outlook on life. They could all do with a humble dose of reality. As you were.

Haatu Posted October 12, 2013 Alpha, he barely looks out of his teens if still not in them. How can he take that kind of a position? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SomaliPhilosopher Posted October 12, 2013 A deconstruction & analysis of Haatu's commentary Haatu;981225 wrote: And how do you get all of this from a 10 second clip ? The use of "how" is used to convey shock and surprise. The diction of "all" further reaffirms this by expressing Haatu's inability to grasp the power of analysis. Do take note of Haatu's strong interest in the sciences and math as it provides proper context to this analysis. "Clip" has a negative connotation as it demotes the significance and meaning of the scene. This is done to frame his argument. Haatu;981225 wrote: Sometimes I wonder with people. Perhaps I too should become a cultural critic, but not in the sense that Alpha claims. "Sometimes" shows that this sense of unfamiliarity with analysis appears to be a trend In Haatu's life. The word "wonder" is used to denote the subject of "people", those with the ability to analyze, as strange and alien. The second sentence is fairly ambiguous and unfortunately cannot be deciphered. Though his use of the word "claim" in reference to Alpha appears to show some skepticism and doubt on Alpha as a 'cultural critic'. Haatu;981225 wrote: I found individuals like our esteemed SP here very strange. In such context, grammatically it is written "find" not "found", though perhaps deviating from conventional rules is a means of satirizing the culture critic. Haatu's use of "esteem", a clever form of irony, deviates from the simple word choice used in the previous sentences.

In my humble opinion, it's little more than another manifestation of their innate "holier than thou" attitude and outlook on life. The last two sentences varies in form of syntax from Haatu's other sentences. Haatu is no longer able to hold back and remain stoic regarding his beliefs on this matter. This section is the heart and backbone of Haatu's piece. Here Haatu expresses the purpose of these 'strange' people is to appear 'cultured' and 'well-rounded'. He also characterizes them as arrogant. The repetition of "obscurity" is quite clever as it mocks and satires these people Haatu finds strange further strengthening his case. "Humble" is used to juxtapose Haatu with the 'strange people', which he has characterized as arrogant. Though this is ironic because casting judgement is not very humble. Haatu;981225 wrote: They could all do with a humble dose of reality Here Haatu's use of a cliche provides context to this written piece. The use of a cliche is used in stark contrast to the motifs of Haatu's piece which he demonizes such as 'originality' 'creativity' and 'analyzing'. Haatu;981225 wrote: As you were Here Haatu reverts back to short sentences, his most common form of syntax. This is done in opposite effect of his previous two sentences.

As you were... I'm impressed you were able to accurately capture the hidden message of my short piece. I normally use prose as a conduit for bashing the fickle rabble but you prove to be quite clever. In my defence though, the grammatical error you were able to spot is a result of me not proof-reading. If we look at your analysis in another light, one may deduce that the writer of the original piece is a clever enough little fellow to have conveyed so much in so little. You flatter me, SP.
