| I think the whistle in my view represent the cause of violence, it could be something bad or good that triggers it. The bird represent peace and the stones violence itself. The way the boy took out that bird in his hand represent a sense of standing up for himself or some form of peace he came up with. The bird took the whistle from the man therefore rendering him to not use it anymore and the stoning ceased, meaning peace was able to suppress violence. But at the same time self loathing began, judging by the self stoning. Correct if I'm wrong. 5/10. |

| Good depiction of duality of human nature, but most importantly - of how violence emerges if is triggered by something (even by a thing or action you wouldn't expect to cause violence). |
| Anybody know what everyone else is saying to the guy in the one part with dialog? |

| It seemed sort of dark and cynical (standard Wada fare). Rigid capitalist society oppresses the individual. He turned it around, but then everyone attacked themselves. I don't really understand the self-stoning or the whistle. |
