HOLY MOTORS

Leos Carax (2012)

We are animals with large brains and big imaginations so we have created an overstimulating environment for ourselves which confuses our identities.  We have come to use technology to deliver and express these contradicting personalities; travelling through space in our isolated bubbles often crashing into each other.  Two separate atoms colliding; occasionally compounding, sometimes exploding but usually just bouncing off in separate directions.  

The old technology will be replaced with new - but the evolution of our genes cannot be moved on so quickly and we are stuck with what we have.  We trundle through life playing our different roles but ultimately the goal is to remove the masks at the end of the day?

In the end we are all just animals.
