摘要：A fire hose dangles from a massive
crane that sits like a monumental
mechanical giraffe in a desolate,
parched landscape. A man clings to
the hose, which is turned on full blast,
causing its force to whip him around
like a fly on a string. As the hose snaps
back and forth, the camera pulls back
and pans the horizon, highlighting
the puniness of the man’s body amid
endless brown hills. The glimpse
reveals recent bulldozer tracks, and
the raggedy body (out of which we
hear screams) seems to mirror this
dramatically denuded land. All the
while the crew behind the camera
laughs. The devastation of it all is
brought home when the viewer realizes
the crane and water hose may be
a contraption assembled precisely to
wash these hills away.
