what if

i've always liked these ideas of films or books, where the author creates its own world and uses it as a playground to let the imagination fly. especially on the topics like the future and space and all these that remain a what if for the man kind for now. if the airlines are buying land on moon, then you've got to look around a little, now wont you. but fantacy is a key even here. the future is unknown, ok. what are you're suggestions that what can be there? the big brother, soma vacations, 2012, living on planets, traveling space - thats old already. i think we can think wider, go crazy and embrace the fact that we have no idea whats going to happen in the future, at least we - the artist if one can say so. this is the key to the door of the playground you can make yourself. simple fast examples:

- the finns made a film, released this winter "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale" by Jalamari Helander. In the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains, 486 metres deep, lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it up! This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus - says the synopsis on IMDb. A finnish hollywood style film where Santa is a hell of a mean bastard. The cool thing about this film that one estonian actor, Peeter Jakobi, is playing a badass evil role there. See the trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi192256281

- the next film also by the finns, called "Iron Sky"(2011) by Timo Vuorensola. Short synopsis: The Nazis set up a secret base on the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018. Is this not already epic enough to think out of the box? Well, see the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi4232513305

- or just a simple example of "District 9"(2009) by Neill Blomkamp. Which is one of the favorite films for me I think in all times by all means (idea, production etc). An idea that aliens have invaded South-Africa? Yes, please. In a film like that. In case you have not seen this film before, its a must-see one.

I will continue with this topic at some point because I really like to think about it and create my vision of the world at 2050 or later or in another 1000 years. Who knows, maybe they can freeze me by the time I am older and I will see it? But here is another example of an interesting approach to this topic. The short film is not in my style though, jet leaves a facinating tingeling inside:
