"Money is what life is all about: getting it, losing it, needing it, living and dying for it. That’s what the American dream is about!"
Extract from a Hollywood movie, this speech is the vision of the capitalist mind that is omnipresent in the U.S civilisation. It’s shocking for a foreigner to hear that but this conception is, indeed, becoming more and more familiar to other peoples thanks to the cultural proximity, particularly in cinema and thanks to economic globalisation. In a society where the communication replaces gradually the discussion, in default of exchanging a point of view with words, what can we observe there?
"Wonderful" is a video logbook showing that juxtaposition of autistic discourses.
