Guava Island (2019)
Dig a Little Deeper, Real Review...
This is lost on those who are in America, by which I mean those who are swallowed by the mindset of America. ;)
I was born on the island of Key West. Where I no longer live, because I cannot afford it. It's so true, that you'll work so hard in paradise that you'll never be able to enjoy it. Or simply you cannot live there, because this is America.
The line, "Anywhere where, in order to get rich, you have to make someone else richer, is America." is on point. I should know, because I'm a business owner. The only way to get rich is to stand on the shoulders of those willing to work for less pay.
Also, most of the world has been Americanized. Your plastics are cleaned and sifted through by children and poverish families, who are managed by a "boss" in that country. Oh yeah, this hierarchy brought to you by.... America.
This is good "film", or video, or flick. Whatever the heck it is, I don't care. I grow tired of labels and critics who only have over-judgements to pass along.
It's definitely not a music video. They are short and very rarely deliver any substance. If you are more into the artistic mind, and seeing the color play and deeper meanings behind the visual - you'll enjoy it. If you're looking for some SSDD CGI and to be completely distracted by loud sounds and explosions - go watch a movie.
It is shorter, but I liked that part. Because this is America and I don't have time to enjoy myself and I must go back to work. I don't have enough free time to watch 2+ hour movies like my parents did. Chop chop....
Watch it if you want something a little different. It's good when people cannot label something, it means it's bringing your brain something it cannot stick inside of an existing box. Good job.
Be aware of the life that many do not live, because of "the man".
