No shortage on human asses
It
Takes One Ass to Know One

In
both films, in France in the 1960s and in Poland in the 2020s, animal work was
abandoned to be replaced by machine work in the countryside, tractors, and all
sorts of complex machines like harvesters or drones. Draught animals had to be
gotten rid of as fast as possible. Millions of horses. In the more modern time
of Poland, the horses are more or less gone but cows have replaced them in slaughterhouses
to process the meat needed to feed an overcrowded planet.
Imagine
a donkey recycled from pulling a cart to dancing in a circus and then roaming
around more or less free, unable to stay in one meadow, pasture, or whatever.
He will end up in the form and shape of salami for the voracious scapegoat-lovers
who will become for the occasion scape-donkey lovers. The donkey is the devil
himself and he brings bad luck. Imagine these scape-donkey lovers eating their
hated donkey in the salami they bought for their Sunday sandwich. Literally, a vomiting
offense.
Au
Hasard Balthazar and Eo are films on animal welfare in an overcrowded world
where animal work has to disappear and be replaced by machines. Among such
animals, donkeys are the lumpenproletariat of the animal working class. A new
chapter of Das Kapital that can be closed since all these animals will be or
have been slaughtered.
