FLESH

some french guys put together a very surreal reimagining of the events of that day and beyond and even though it bases it's inspiration on the official account of what occurred it's not without it's relevant symbology.

-------------------------------

Flesh contrasts Americans and Terrorists. America as corrupt, libinous and excessive as religious fundamentalists present it. America, the superpower, filled with such fervour and energy that it can feed its own aggressions and contain within itself a violence inherent to the foundations of its very empire.
Flesh shows how the kamikaze planes have fuelled the flames and stirred the arrogance and imperialist mind-set of a superpower that is full of contradictions. The airliner attacks ultimately have no lasting effect on the town. On the contrary, they increase the spectacular decadence they are trying to flatten. The more the planes attack the town, the more the debauchery and images of
violence at the core of the town proliferate

Flesh does not intend to take sides for or against the United States of Islamic Fundamentalists. It's a Reinterpretation of the events of September 11th and its aftermath. Which spurred on the reassertion of a superpower. An increase in military supremacy and the spread of the U.S. Hegemony. Accompanying this warlike rebirth comes a rising importance placed on the morals and Puritanism on the one hand, which in fact mirrors the radicalizing of the fight by Islamic fundamentalists against the decadent West, supported by the promise, supposedly written in the Koran, of better days in Heaven.
