satyagrahe

These days people spew hate and ridicule from their own sources, independent from the focus of their criticisms. I started this account to comment on this short in direct opposition to a negative myopic review. I found the piece delivers a rich interconnectedness to several other pieces of speculative fiction. Though at times seemingly disjointed between live action and anime this is an exploration and further expression of the many stories of The Journey to the West to Dragon Ball and recent God of High School anime in 2020 which is sourced from Manhua/Manga. From difference in the shape of the Golden Cudgel, the Flaming Tail to the radiance of Sita and the chant of Hare Rama I found delights in what feels like a very personal project. I look forward to part two and future work from this group of inspired artists. Thank you I still sit with the passion of this short long after viewing. I would add it is also important to unfurl the rich tapestry of stories from all the worlds ancient sources as Western culture is very Judeo-Christian centric and that is not the sum total of us, (this from a Sicilian recovering Roman Catholic from Brooklyn). The Monkey King legend imparts rich insights to the nature of the self, the creature self, ego, and how ones path is in all ways a path of heart, a path of spirit.
