Dark Sentiments Season 9 — Day 10: Alleycats
Posted By Randy on October 10, 2018
Much has been written about revenge, most of it absent understanding of its unfortunate offspring — what our ancestors knew as a blood feud. A thing to be avoided, at nearly — nearly — all costs. To avoid such a calamity is to find a way to at least somewhat peacefully absorb an offense of lethal enormity, or kill every man, woman, and child of the transgressing party leaving no one to reply.
To illustrate, some of you may find yourself singing this delightful campfire song that, while delivered within a fictional world, is based on an amalgam of historical events.
The story of The Rains of Castamere sets up House Lannister as not to be trifled with, and in less fanciful realms the lore leans toward it being best if anyone privy to your eradication of all interested parties both lack evidence, and possess certainty, it was you who killed them. In this case though, nobody living had the wherewithal to take on the Lannisters, if they even had the will, and it looked good on the collective CV.
In another fanciful realm, in this case Kill Bill, the seeds of a blood feud are planted and fertilized so that retribution may not be beyond reach some unexpected day in the future.
Following this line of inquiry brings us to tonight’s Dark Sentiment.
Nail, the last surviving warrior of the Siamese clan, breaks into enemy territory with only one goal on his mind: avenging his father’s death.
Alleycats is an action thriller produced by Blow Studio and directed by Alejandro Jiménez & Bernardo González. A dramatic story of revenge full of action and violence.
So does the producer of tonight’s feature describe the animated short you are about to view.
