New direction: Road Warrior

(this document has not been edited, and is a rough draft, many statements and points to be changed and rearranged.)

Instead of using a mask (both in the sense of a tool and the look) I'm going to use a "Pop-up Video" satire to blend the conceptual elements with the original. In a sense it will be like a music video without music, sound effects/dialogue playing the part of the music, while the pop information will instead include comedic parallels between the characters in the movie and the real Iraq war.

Some obvious parallels are the words actually spoken by "Humungus" who will represent the mysterious and always shrouded in mystery, neo con movement.
The second in command, and blithering, loud-mouthed idiot, spokesmen is similar to the way George Bush has invaded the office and made a fool of himself.
The young child with a steel bladed boomerang will represent the comedians who have cut down the administration and called out its faults in the public eye. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, these comedians (John Stewart and Stephen Colbert) are almost solely responsible for keeping an eye on the administration in a critical manner. They are not held back by political conventions, and therefore are free to speak freely against the administration. John taking a more direct approach, while Colbert stealthy makes cutting remarks that often go above the heads of his intended victims. John can therefore be seen as the hero, played by Mel Gibson, cool and somewhat reserved, the one who will bring the evil to an end. The boy is most like Colbert, his sharp comments are often ambigous and easy to underestimate, literally throwing people for a loop. Just like the boy who throws his sharp boomerang, the enemies underestimate him, and in turn the blithering idiot (Bush) has his fingers chopped off, while Gayboy's (Cheney) boyfriend is beheaded (Albert Gonzales, and his recent resignation, due to so much criticism and being caught up in ego he doesnt even see the boomerang coming for him, or does anyone warn him).

The tortured corpses on the front of the cars, represent the victims of the aggressive administration, the people tortured in the many prisons, the people bombed in many countries.
