Just To Make You Think...

As promised, here is a short and strange video clip.

From Wikipedia.com:
Allegro Non Troppo is a 1976 Italian animated film directed by Bruno Bozzetto. Featuring six pieces of classical music, the film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia. The classical pieces are set to color animation, ranging from comedy to deep tragedy.

This clip is Number Two in the Series, set to Dvořák's Slavonic Dance No. 7, Op. 46; I hope you will all find it funny, disturbing, and provocative all at once.

I would like you to watch the video (as many times as you need to) and then leave a comment telling me what you think about the video. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, so your comment can include ANY information you want, e.g. what the clip is about, who/what it represents, the video's message is _____________, I agree/disagree with the video's message because..., just to name a few possibilities.

Please make sure you watch the video and post your responses by Monday evening, then we will talk a lot about this video on Tuesday night during class.

Have a great weekend!
