Occasionally,
okay perhaps on more than one occasion, I have been known to compare music with
movies, if only because certain sounds I hear in certain evokes a certain
visual in my mind that perhaps is somewhat familiar in that regard.
“Those Who Remain” don’t really bring out
a genre of movies, such as say 1980’s movies like Breakfast Club, or even a
specific movie per se, but it does have very specific images—very specific
movie scenes running through my head.
I
picture a city, any major city really it doesn’t matter though theoretically
this is a movie so it is probably most likely a made up city, and in this city
there is a lot going on, which is standard for a city. And then all of a sudden, everything just
freezes. The frame goes completely still
in the way that a movie can be paused.
With
the magic of movie making and editing, we then begin to see every fall apart
very slowly. Buildings crumble. Cars explode.
People… the people. It’s just
pure chaos and destruction. It is utter
and total annihilation. It is also
happening in slow motion. And it is
beautiful.
