Logorama

The story was mainly about Ronald McDonald (criminal) being chased by two Michelin men (police). Ronald succeeds in getting away from the two cops, however, a big earthquake occurs and he dies. The earthquake splits the continent in two and a huge tsunami comes as well. The only survivors were the Esso lady and Big Boy.

I thought this film was very interesting because it was using familiar logos which made me feel like I was looking at the world we actually live in but from a wider perspective. I'm guessing this film wanted to tell us that we live in a world full of logos and that we are controlled by them and their image. Logos might seem cute and fun, however, it has dangerous aspects like how it can be used for propaganda. We are used to living in a world surrounded by logos that we don't realize how we are controlled by them and I think the film wanted us to think about this problem. At the end, almost all the logos(shops and houses) disappear because of the natural disaster but the two survivors seem happy and relaxed. I think this is saying that our world will be more peaceful without any logos.
