Nice reminds me of the movie Hard to be A God

The russian sci fi way ahead of its time

Hard to Be a God (Russian: Трудно быть богом, romanized: Trudno byt' bogom) is a 2013 Russian epic medieval science fiction film[2] directed by Aleksei German who co-wrote the screenplay with Svetlana Karmalita. It was his last film and it is based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Yeh I have a sensitive disposition even though I can handle a fair bit having lived on farms and working in brutal environments of australia I always feel the need to posit a warning in this day and age where most of social media is like a gas lighting company that loves shock and awe... which personally I think is horrific and well nature is beautiful so ... I try to posit a good balance between the two if one needs to hyper experience third party periscopic emotion then by all means watch the brutality of a piece of art or cinema but if one so chooses to just love the natural environment I am also a big promoter of smelling the flowers and talking to birds and butterflies... Both have there space but hey... I care about others perception or else I wouldnt be an artist right?
