Of course there was stuff even Hieronymus Bosch was too squeamish to depict .... reading a New York Times column by Frank Rich for example — you’ll never see anyone in his paintings subjected to that ...  not to mention listening in on Jonah Goldberg’s chit-chat at The Corner ... hellfire and brimstone, yes, but NOT THAT!  PLEASE GOD, I REPENT!  NOT THAT!

I see similarities in the video with that of the bizarre, Cirque Du Soleil. I wonder if the brainchild of guy that started Cirque was acually influenced by Hieronymus Bosch?

If it were Bosch’s intention to depict the innately sinful and evil nature of God, through depictions of grotesque and incredibly cruel punishments meted out to hapless humans who simply behaved according to their God-given nature, then I believe the artist succeeded.

Bosch is my fav painter of all time . ‘‘the garden of delights’’ is about the fact that the delights themselves are the torments. ‘‘desire causes suffering ‘’ Buddha .

‘‘IF YOU DRINK OF THIS WATER YOU WILL THIRST AGAIN ‘’ CHRIST

Bosch has the horror of the moderns , the sin and redemption of the medivialists , and the foundation of the ancients. he is the Dante of painting . no one else compares.

One finds this little film actually adding to one’s appreciation of HB and hopes that AD will get the same treatment.

hopefully bosch was depicting contemporary jews, politicians, and church leaders in his panel of hell.

which makes me think… this animation could be improved if someone smudged out the faces bosch depicts and replaced them with their modern bureaucratic and media equivalents.

“I see similarities in the video with that of the bizarre, Cirque Du Soleil.”—( from my above post)

On second thought: I see chilling similarities with what is taking place in the video to the hellish nightmare that is an everyday reality in 21’st century Sub-Saharan Africa ....
