Studying for my Literature paper tomorrow... and one of the films in it is Ingmar Bergman's 1966 Persona... and one of the images that really burned in my mind, was the immolation of Thích Quảng Đức..
You can read about the incident on Wiki... and yeah.. to me.. its really the ultimate show of protest.. dying for your beliefs...
Ironically the inverse is highlighted in MCR's "Na Na Na"... the sad truth of today's world...
"Everybody wanna change the world.
Everybody wanna change the world.
But no one,
No one wants to die."
