50 People, One Question

"The Story: Around two months ago when we set out to film, it was another New Orleans day. A sure sign was the radiating humidity that made your entire body feel like it was covered in a sort of sweaty film. Once you get past the initial fear of the inevitable grime and heat, you feel a certain energy or "atmosphere"- like a kid throwing himself without reserve into a mud fight. We had an idea: ask as many people as possible the same question. We didn't know exactly why- I guess we were hoping to expose a slice of human emotion (maybe). Just the simple act of reaching out and asking the question is such a enthralling experience in itself. So go ahead, ask yourself....."

Gawd. Most long-winded clip ever, it`s good though. Ok. the question is...

"By the end of today, what would you wish to happen?"

Now skip to 3:10.

Saltesc you should kill your self with a rusty spoon while crowds of people cheer as your body which has done nothing but waste space and oxygen is raised high above them and set ablaze in an effigy of all that is wrong with this world.

everyone is so selfish, almost everyone wanted something to only happen to themselves, a sign were far from perfect in this day and age?

i liked the kid`s comment, "to wake up". only one worth applauding.

I`d want aliens to make a mass global public appearance, or for a cataclysm.

End hunger around the world. It`s crazy to know how wasteful we all are (myself including) when there are people who have nothing.

^ Presto, having a long day? Chill man.

That intro was way too long, it would`ve been perfect at the end, or maybe before the question was asked to each person.

Ron Paul as president. Any way that can happen by the end of the day possible.

By the end of today:

That all governments start truly and genuinely working for the people and only for the people. That their decisions be free of corporate influence and greed.

And when I say for the people I mean humanity in general, not for the benefit of one people to the detriment of another.

I`d give my left nut for that to come true ... and maybe i`d pitch in a finger

i dunno...i felt like all the bashing of how people just want stuff for themselves has something true in it but...

i found something in this video. The fact that all of us, humans, have something that we want. The question asked in this video is simple and is presented as such but really asks what the purpose of every one of our lives is, what we wake up every day for. I find it touching in a whole different way when i see a place like New Orleans, Louisiana, a place where there are some people whose intellectuality i would call into doubt (being in the South), and whose political desires I would put down, have people that are just like me. They wake up and go to sleep every day thinking and wondering where their life is taking them and where they want to end up, and every day something changes to form that until it becomes what it is.

I am drunk and in a thoughtful state of mind right now, so if this comment is incoherent forgive me, but it is just what I think. I liked this video and kudos to the guys that had such a great yet simple idea and decided to turn it into something we could all see.

p.s. i proofread a bajillion times to make sure there werent errors :)
