A PERFECT PLACE

A PERFECT PLACE
A film by Derrick Scocchera
Soundtrack by Mike Patton

The black and white film is 25 minutes long, a short story about two men and their perfect place for their imperfect crime. It was the soundtrack that lead me to the film in particular track two, titled, A Perfect Place.
I listen to this when I'm travelling on the buses mostly, watching the world around me transform from what it is to what it really is. Reality, normality, what do these terms mean, what is normal, is normal what is acceptable, and if so who accepts it, the majority?
I could imagine in medieval times people who suffered from conditions such as epilepsy would have been considered to be possessed by the devil and either outcasted or put to death. The human race as advanced in some ways but I fear in others we are drastically going backwards, whether this is a deliberate intension to keep the masses of people under control, so that other particular groups of people may gain from this I cannot say, but I do believe there are far too many people unwilling or unable to even try and understand, not just other individuals but everything and anything they experience.

A perfect place opens my eyes, I sit back and watch the humanity around me and I try to understand what I see. Are the strange really so strange for me normality seams to be one of the strangest ideas if you can call it that, the fact that people can believe they must and everybody else must be a certain way to be “normal”.
