Review of I Am Greta (2020) by Mauro_Lanari — 08 Jan 2021

(Mauro Lanari).

Barring apocalyptic novelties, at the moment the only certain thing is that in a century we will all be dead, in about 8 billion. Dear Greta, the future has always been stolen from us, no one has ever shown that they have management skills on any of the three temporal extensions. What is stolen from you is your specific model of future, in which you want to get married and form a new family. Try to figure it out by focusing your Asperger on the biggest problem or at least get help from someone of the tens of millions of environmentalists, starting with your parents.

Btw: the documentary makes use of a couple of pieces by Wim Mertens, a minimalist composer like Philip Glass, author of the score music of the analogous "Koyaanisqatsi" (Reggio 1982), hopi word which means: "1. crazy life. 2. life in turmoil. 3. life out of balance. 4. life disintegrating. 5. a state of life that calls for another way of living." From '82 to today nothing has changed, if not the looting done in '98 by Madonna for the video of "Ray of Light".
