Thoughts on “Grosse Fatigue”

This video is about the way the world began in several different cultures. I like how it began very fast paced, just as the world would have in the beginning of time. The images that I found most captivating were the ones about the Big Bang. It goes from silence for a second to a blast of pictures and volume as marbles rush around a screen. The marbles almost looked like little planets, stars and potential suns moving around erratically and crashing into each other. Just like in the theory of the Big Bang, the planets collide and form a tremendous amount of energy, the marbles collide and use their opposing energies to push themselves away from one another. I also saw the hand that was pushing the marbles like the Hand of God, moving the planets into existence. The Hand is erratically moving them but in the end they will find their spots where God intended for them to land. We can see this when we move on to other videos of people looking at pictures of planets. Pictures are still, showing how these planets are now in their perspective destinations. I found this relationship beautiful because it connects the scientific point of view that part of this world accepts to another version of the same story that scientific Christians might believe instead. We also see pictures of astronauts in space which reflects back to this video by merely showing our obsession with creation.
