Opening scene:
-
> From outer space, the audience is propelled closer and
closer and finally to surface of planet Earth where they find themselves amongst *a vast accumulation of commodities*, some of them anthropomorphized, walking around--even consuming each other; some of them, actually existing human beings selling themselves into long hours of slavery for something known as *the universal equivalent*. Ninety-four percent of the official *work-force* is hired to produce ever more commodities, adding to the vast pile which still others have sold *their* time to sell. It is a bright,shiny, plasticized world in places. It is a toxic waste dump in others. Sometimes the two intersect. The wage-slaves go to where their employers tell them to go for the day (some at night) and then jam up in smog choked traffic for an hour's trip to their locked boxes. They turn on their TV s and watch ads for commodities between insipid programming and produce alpha-waves until they hit the hay.
Scene two, scene three and the final scene go on much the same until the environment collapses.
THE END
CAPITAL--sure it's a horror film. But heck, it's the only film in town.
