New & Notable: SecretProjectRevolution
Directed by: Madonna & Steven Klein
The film contains some beautiful photography by Steven Klein, it’s enough of a reason to watch. However, what is most surprising is Madonna. She strikes me in this as not being totally self-aware, but just self aware enough. Madonna tells us that she wants to start a revolution, but people do not take her seriously. She isn’t willing to admit that people do not take her seriously because she’s Madonna, not because she’s a woman. But at least she is aware of the uphill battle she faces, which is more than I can say about other people with an equal amount of influence.
Madonna is reminding us here of what she is always reminding us of; that she is the “unique and rare and fearless” person she wants us all to be. She is expressing herself, for better or for worse as she always has. I think, for the most part that this is a admirable thing.
It will be interesting to see what this new platform Art For Freedom @ artforfreedom.com turns up. Their mission is to EXPRESS YOUR PERSONAL MEANING OF FREEDOM AND REVOLUTION IN THE FORM OF VIDEO, MUSIC, POETRY, AND PHOTOGRAPHY.
Individual artists will have the opportunity to showcase their work through the project.
