AQUARELA: THE WILL OF WATER after SCHOPENHAUER

This film has been reviewed by many so this is not a review. From its opening in Siberia on Lake Baikal we are seeing something never seen on the screen before.

The entire movie shows us the violent will of water in so many manifestations all over the world so please watch the trailer. 

This is Puryear's paper on Schopenhauer's discussion of animal rights. By extension if will can be thwarted, dammed up, stopped then Schopenhauer argues that the animal can be harmed. IF and since the animal can be harmed then the animal has rights. Schopenhauer has inverted the concept of rights in this way. But let me post Puryear's Summary for you:

Schopenhauer on the Rights of Animals

Stephen Puryear 

North Carolina State University

Abstract

I argue that Schopenhauer’s ascription of (moral) rights to animals flowsnaturally from his distinctive analysis of the concept of a right. In contrastto those who regard rights as fundamental and then cast wrongdoing as amatter of violating rights, he takes wrong (Unrecht) to be the morefundamental notion and defines the concept of a right (Recht) in its terms.He then offers an account of wrongdoing which makes it plausible tosuppose that at least many animals can be wronged and thus, byextension, have rights. The result, I argue, is a perspective on the natureof moral rights in general, and the idea of animal rights in particular, thatconstitutes an important and plausible alternative to the more familiarviews advanced by philosophers in recent decades.

And after seeing Aquarela I am extending it to WATER. In this film the WILL of water in all its violence is a visual experience of the violence of the will of water. Greek mythology worshiped Poseidon, the God of the oceans and seas and all waters and dominion of all sea animals: dolphins, whales, seals, fishes, ALL of them were HIS. For any sea journey Poseidon had to be ritualistically worshiped, honored with gifts, sacrifices, poems and words to ensure a safe journey. None of his sea animals could be killed unless Poseidon gave his blessing. He was a great and powerful God whose orders had to be obeyed. Once in the Odyssey Odysseus's sailors did not honor him and he raged with a storm that destroyed their ships and sent them to a watery grave. His terrible rage was feared and all tried to appease him. It was DEATH to go against him or to forget to honor him.

Were pagans with multiple gods less advanced than our fake Christian values today?

The Will of Water has been attenuated by humans. If the will has been thwarted, stopped, from flowing, then the river has been harmed!  Therefore the river has RIGHTS! 

There is no ancient Greek who could have done this as his terror of Poseidon would have forbid it. Is modern man more civilized because he has superior technology? If values are not transferred along with technology then human regression occurs and unfolds.

Colorado River Flowing, Stopping

If the flow of water is being stopped, the will of the water is being stopped and any stopping of the will in a specie or entity is 
TO HARM THAT ENTITY.

If it can be harmed then by extension that entity has 
RIGHTS. 

And we must enter the Courts of Law to plead the case of 

The Colorado River. 

Not on the basis of its being a person as a corporation, but as an entity 

WITH RIGHTS 

that cannot be infringed.

Because it can be harmed.

A Sea of 1000 islands.
Beautiful, rich with fish and sea animals
Ruined by USSR dams blocking the water for industrial use.

In 44 years less than 10% is left.It is saline.All life is gone or dying

WE MUST FIGHT IN THE COURTS OF LAW TO ESTABLISH PRECENDENTS FOR ALL SPECIES.

CAN WE NOW START WITH A CELEBRITY ANIMAL CASE AND GO ON FROM THERE

This is Lake Michigan in the future all dried up.Rotting, rusty hulks of huge ships are stranded on what was once a 
mighty lake.

There is no voice over telling us what happened only the beginning music of Philip Glass I think, as the shot goes over the fence and floats towards Chicago's buildings, people walking in their different color faction clothes as Beatrice tells us there has been a war and their city is divided into separate factions.

For anyone who has seen Lake Michigan this is imagining the future time in the novel/movie to us.

But it is also revealing the recent past to us.

I would say that this is one of the most profound scenes in any film in decades.Time is twisted so that the future is past and the past is future. Time as a continuum, conceptualized as linear, progressive has been spiraled into a
 Mobius Strip destroying all conventions of 
TIME. 
 Reality has been confabulated by the Imaginary.
Simulated Reality is Reality and Reality is Simulated.
The REAL is coming from the future and the past.
This is the message of the book Deep Green Resistance. We are all fixated on our favorite tragedies, fragmented, divided by our emotions, our ideologies, our political beliefs.
This is the way they want it so they can continue to plunder the planet until ...
!THERE IS NOTHING LEFT!

This is VIOLENCE and it will not be stopped without force.It never has and it never will - Frederick Douglass
