Video of the day -- Exodus
An evocative short film from France (no dialogue, so you don't need to know French). Comprehension note: the dying animal at the beginning is bigger than you think.

About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

I watched it twice. Provocative.
Glad you found it of interest. It's an intriguing concept, strikingly realized.
I can't say I entirely understand what it means or even if there is supposed to be a meaning. Beings escaping a dying/dead environment and seeking what eventually be another? Anyway, I watched it again. The creature that attacked the beings looked similar to a tardigrade, a creature that can survive in the harshest environments.
It's analogizing humans with lice, which flee their host when it dies and seek a living one. Perhaps a reference to the dream of some fools that we can flee to another planet if we ruin this one, or perhaps an entirely different intent. And there's nothing wrong with making a work of art for its own sake, without also making some kind of point.
