Lessons of Darkness















Herzog's Lessons of Darkness is another great film with petroleum as backdrop -- in Kuwait right after the Gulf War. No one can accuse Herzog of being afraid of anything, for sure. I dig.

At $86 a bbl they can afford to pick the shit out of the sea when it floats in a little closer to shore. Water and oil don't mix so it is a relatively simple to take the black tar from the water. Not so easy though to get it off the birds and sea creatures. But that industry doesn't matter as we saw with Exxon and how the fisheries were (not) compensated.

Erik, I have a friend who was in the Gulf war and we wrote to each other at the time. Some very fascinating stories.

I haven't seen it but it sounds like something I'd probably like.
