I feel the need to share this film. It shows how fragile our individuality is and how powerful the call of acceptance can be. The things that can be done to fit in are truly brutal. All this from labels and fear of difference. (I won't list the atrocities done in the name of 'you are different therefore you are wrong. You must be exterminated. Dalek style.) The Tao Tao Ching has some wonderful things to say on the naming of things and the TED Talks have some great talks on fear of being wrong- linked with the continual presumption that we are right. Also there are some good talks on individuality.
Below is a link to www.imdb.com a very useful site :-) This will take you to a page about the film. My descriptions aren't great and I remember it more as a total experience rather than a narrative so I'll let this do most of the explaining...
