To inaugurate the video section of my blog I chose this movie about the revolution of Tibetan monks in Burma. A movie raw, violent, as are those in which we see a man die in real time. The photographer Japanese Kenji Nagai was killed while trying to let the world know the bloody violence of the Burmese dictatorship, a soldier sees him on the ground and shot him coldly. And I look on this video, but not sadism, but only because so many ideas through my head as I run these images before my eyes ... I try to summarize them. Meanwhile, I must say are considerable similarities with the movie, then released only on TV (the Internet did not exist) of the uprising in Tiananmen Square in 1989 when a Chinese student stood in front of a tank, trying in vain to prevent the advance. Naturally, the two episodes are very different in content but in both cases we are faced with revolts put down with violence and there is a civilian who has to deal with an authoritarian system. Secondly, I can not think of how the Internet is now a Big Brother to which even the most rigid censorship, in any state of the world, may object. What is even more interesting now that they no longer need a TV crew or highly sophisticated equipment to network, under the eyes of all, a video like this would not agree that the Burmese dictatorship ever spreading: Just maybe a phone mobile phone camera and the worst is over. Maybe this is not the case in the video that I chose, but if anyone had been nearby at the time maybe you could film the last moments of Vitsa Japanese photographer's an even earlier. Of course there is nothing beautiful to see a human exhale his last breath, but in this society is so concerned about the scoop and the movie "not politically correct in this society of nosy and curious how often these events are" cliccatissima " . This is what the public wants, the media seem to adjust. Elze
