The Purple Zone

Huh?!? I still am in shock after seeing THE PURPLE ZONE--a short film that is now featured for viewing on IMDb. I am confused because after seeing it I have no idea what it was nor am I exactly sure whether this was a serious film or a comedy. It is funny and if they didn't intend this, then that is very sad--and I do think they did NOT mean for this to be a comedy.

The film consists of an older man and lady who are apparently gods named "Spark"(?) and "Popsicle"(?) standing in a smoky black room talking about "making purple zones" and "female empowerment". I think it was trying to say something about feminism or something philosophical, but all I could think of was how poorly written and pointless the whole thing seemed. Maybe it's just me, so if you don't believe me give it a watch and then PLEASE try to explain to me what it's all about and why the film isn't a total waste of time because of its sense of self-importance.

Yes, you are quite right, it is a comedy, about the patriarchal rules and regulations being overthrown by the "female power" or the Goddess. Girl power is something that has been going on for centuries and in this piece, the idea is that the old dogmatic male aggression is finally ready to take a rest and let the female energy of persuasion take over. "Thou May" vs. "Thou Must". Quite an amusing intellectual piece which is a mix of sci-fi, comedy and male vs. female drama.

THE PURPLE ZONE is a delightful comedy about a goddess and a god on another planet who decide to reshape the universe according to the female principle of cooperation rather than the male principle of war and aggression, and is very direct in its symbolism. The music of Gustav Holst (The Planets) creates an interesting aura of outer space and of being in another dimension of stimulation.
