The movie "6 Days" is very bold and daring for two reasons. Number on: it doesn't play to gamers. What can be perceived as action ends up flipping over to reveal bitter heartache. I found myself questioning my own state of mind while playing MMO games with real persons on the other end of fiber optic cable. Life does end as quickly as a blink of an eye or a twitch of trigger finger. Our existence, all that we are, is as fragile at the data code that crafts our online avatars. Number two: The movie can be viewed as stance against government politics abroad by speaking directly to the young men and women end up carrying the burden of these conflicts in language that they understand. The message to them is simple. This is your life. You fight the wars now and will so in the future. Know that the passing of a soldier on the battlefield could be you one day, or someone you knew and loved. Life is not a 20 second new bite. The soldiers (on either side) that have died in conflicts abroad do not respawn. They live now only in the memories of their families. The lessons the have taught us and all that they have given up for us should not be forgotten. Their deaths can not be boxed up and shelved away like a dvd-rom. They have become part of our history. I was inspired by this movie and hope to see more machinima with powerful messages and startling realizations such as this in the future. The genre has taken a mature turn. I hope this continues.
