[Trash-talk] mysteries of the push it video revealed!

[Lindsay Calhoun]

Last semester in my film class I saw a short film from the 40's which also 
had some odd similarities to the "Push It" video.  It was directed by Maya 
Deren and Alexander Hamid, ahh I think it's called Meshes of the Afternoon.  
Anyway, there's one scene in particular that reminds me of part of "Push It" 
where Hamid is walking in a nun's habit, but his face is a mirror.  I really 
can't remember the other similarities I noticed since it's been a while 
since I saw the movie, but it's very interesting.  It was experimental and 
the Hamid and Deren (who were married at the time) did absolutely everything 
on it - wrote, directed, acted, edited, etc.  Anyway, so yeah, the 
underlying meaning of Meshes... is the contemplation of suicide, and going 
from thinking about it to the act of it.  Kinda dark and twisted, it would 
fit in well with the likes of Lynch and Garbage I think.
