Thank you all for your comments. If want to have some context about the first Gulf War (1991) consider watching the documentary that i made with only amateur and news footage : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppiTd2CcfNl1pqc enjoy !

There is an odd mid to late 2000s energy about this. It was cool to call everything bullshit, call for an end to the modern world and propose wild alternatives. The merits of our system were questioned from a thousand different angles and all that could be agreed on is that something went deeply wrong with us... And then when everything was said and done, we all returned to our lives like nothing ever happened, shifting our gazes to the next distraction of politicians we claimed to distrust, culture we though declining and ideologies we had pronounced dead.

The book Capitalist Realism describes a similar picture. With the collapse of the soviet union, socialism, alongside all other ideologies, were declared dead. Capitalism reigned Supreme and took hold all across the world, solidifying its existence for perpetuity. Any attempts at implementing an alternative is deemed impossible thus marking it as what seems to be the end of history. I think everyone deep down knows there's something wrong, but it's just harder to imagine an end to capitalism than an end to the world. So instead we just move on, like nothing ever happened.

i was a child to liberal parents. i was absolutely convinced that Dick Cheney was gonna steal the election from Obama and got into anarchism...and then when Obama got elected i thought that the system really did work and that everything was gonna get better. under Obama we were living in a beautiful fantasy where everything was gonna get better. it didn't. and now we're forced to live in reality.

i grew up in a liberal family under bush. as an 11 year old i was absolutely convinced that Dick Cheney was gonna suspend the constitution and set up a dictatorship to stop Barack Obama from winning the presidential election...and when it didn't happen i was like "well i guess the system does work" looking back at it, thinking "well i guess the system does work" was somehow even more naive.

Its unbelievable that you have literal footage of my father who is a Gulf war vet in this video . What are the odds that a song from an anime I just watch would be put over footage of my father I even show'd him the video and he said that he was in outside position in the green Marine core uniform as in the video. I never knew any of that! Thank you for sharing! Marked at 1:09-1:10

when i was eighteen, i remember trying to watch this film and not fully being in the right headspace to watch it, and eventually putting it down - four years later, i’m laying in bed reeling from having watched it in its entirety, trying to really nail what it is exactly that i felt about it, in a way i can’t explain. this is the closest to how i feel. somehow, someway, it really puts in perspective this aspect of what a dream really is, the extent it reaches, how it can hurt and destroy as much as it creates. how it materializes and becomes so normalized, even in its absurdity. how it starts as a thought, than the question of a thought, and in trying to make sense of that question or thought it turns into something else entirely. something almost inhuman. satoshi kon’s artistry, as well as susumu hirasawa’s, cannot be understated. this movie will sit in the back of my mind forever.
