...certain aesthetic complexity.” This stylistic complexity can contribute to a film’s overall intricacy, as in the case of “Z32,” where the weighty conversation between the Isreali solider and his girlfriend is interspersed with Mograbi singing Grecian chorus style. The director effectively confounds the gravity of his subject matter with the frivolity of song, a component that offended Palestinian audiences when it was screened in the West Bank. But whether Mograbi’s work is sympathetic to the manipulation of the Israel Defense Forces, implicitly drawing the audience...
...musically.The album kicks off with the two songs which stick closest of all to their formula. A pulsating bassline and whining, mesmeric synths propel the album’s first single “Uprising.” It’s all fairly predictable—especially the chorus, in which Matt Bellamy decries with typical fist-pumping authority: “They will not force us / They will stop degrading us / They will not control us / We will be victorious.” Track two, “Resistance,” starts slowly with a rudimentary piano...

This children's song, with its fanciful friendship and lilting chorus, would dominate the Top 40 and be sung in summer camp forever after. To the cognoscenti, this was a drug song in pop-music code: Puff, drag-on, "little Jackie Paper." Hipsters began referring to the group as Peyote, Pot & Maryjuana - though Yarrow consistently denied the hallucinogenic connection...
