B.D. Fox Independent

No one needs the products they advertise. Not really. Movies, television shows, videos, games. They have no functional benifits. Yet they enrich, move, entice and sometimes even enlighten us. They allow us to escape in the most wonderful ways. We invest our memotions in them and in turn the become part of our memories.
PROFOUND INTENSE INTANGIBLE.

Why do I like it? A picture is worth a thousand words, this shows why. You know what this movie is about before it even starts. The identity number and shaved head is very evocative.

Why do I like it? This captures a child's imagination, the tree creates a silhouette of the horned beast, I could go on and on about this. But suffice to say, I love the fantasy image.
