Thoughts on ‘We Only Attack Ourselves’

The film starts with a disembodied human head full of negative, regretful?, emotions atop a cyborg metal body. The music is lamentful and complements the visuals perfectly. The surrounding are dismal and lack all human comforts – he no longer requires them.

We are taken on a brief journey to the past which gives the impression that he ‘chose’ to submit to the transformation – but was this with the full realisation of all that he would lose?  His connection with the earth, the ability to feel the sun and touch other people.  His emotional connection with others.

In the end he is left with nothing. He is suspended, neither human, nor inhuman.
