A short film by Jocab Bricca: “A meditation on violence and visual tropes in the action film genre, “Pure” celebrates the visceral pleasures of cinema. Music by The Jesus Lizard.”Also, it is interesting to think of the continuity of masculinity presented through the work of A-list actors in action films.

    This is an amazing post. Literally, I would call this post the masculine mystique and all the components that make up what men believe they have to aspire to become. The guns, the cars, the muscles, the women, the destruction, the power are all alive and well in this video.
