Emotions of War (flow diagram)

Referring back to the Site, in an effort to derive forces of Ether for the architecture to resist n form-
it takes me back to Pentagon - Headquarters  of the dept of Defense - Conspiracy - Policies- Combat - Defense - War - Winning - Power - Money -
also one of the targets of 9/11 attacks - an event that triggers another war -
tht gives me a challenge to explore the different emotions of war as the potential driving forces for the project...

here I present, analysis of the movie; born on the fourth of july

the reason for the selection of this movie is that it potrays a whole cycle of patriotism - war - rehabilitaion - guilt - courage - revolution... it covers almost all the emotions of the war very effectively -

Film starts with the 4^th of celebrations (day of independence) – feelings of patriotism – I love my country, Dad – positive (upward flow of emotion)

Then there is war – Communism has to be stopped – positive - connected with patriotism – leads to war

Some friends simply don’t care - Oh man! You are crazy – negative – but part of the war

During the war – I killed some people – villagers/friends – negative – guilt (downward flow of emotion)

Lose body – paralyzed from chest down

Rehabilitation– this place is a fucking slum– negative – connected to downward slope

I will walk again – hope – you are alive, you made it – connected to patriotism from the start – positive – gives some stability

Love it or leave it – a little rise – own war – you are a hero – positive – passions of war

Soon there is personal misery – feelings that you are used – they told us to go –desire to have the body back – people here don’t give a shit about war – also connected to the guilt of killings – negative –adds  to distress

But that finally there is a found courage – new directions – revolution against war – NOT ONE MORE DEAD – positive – rise –another expression of the love of country

Emerging Pattern/Conclusion:

Strong fluctuations between positive and negative emotions with a continuous feedback loop.
