Thoughts on the World Of Glory film

I believe that most of you guys find this film horrendous, sorrowful, and painful in some way. I personally feel really bad when I see people dying, even more when they just are innocent people that have nothing to do with the situation they live in. The culprits in this part of the film are a group of bureaucrats. I feel like Andersson challenges the idea that a horrific slaughter like this will not happen again and obviously some of us do not carry cold blood in our bodies to commit such inhuman acts, and be guilty of these barbarities, but that living in such a frivolous world could not stop us from provoke a cruelty of this magnitude again right in front of us.

What thing that called my attention before the first part of the short film is that the camera never moves. We have the same perspective from where we are watching the whole time and it generates the feeling of just contemplating a picture, or painting. They never mention the name of the main character, is it because it could be any of us? We all have a family, we have siblings, we go to work, we go to church, etc. He is around people that are static, motionless that do not do anything. How live are we living this life?
