A tribute to the late, great Kurt Vonnegut who passed away April 11, 2007. Inspired by a passage from Slaughterhouse Five in which Billy Pilgrim describes how beautiful a war in reverse would be.

song is Explosions in the Sky - So Long, Lonesome most of the clips i used are from the movie Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb or stock WWII footage
Comments on "Kurt Vonnegut's War in Reverse"
Five years? today.. ... Five years? today... R.I.P. Kurt Vonnegut.
OK, figured as much ... OK, figured as much, just checking. And THANKS! Fantastic job!? Perfect song choice too. Someone had to do it!
nope. i made this ... nope. i made this like 5 years ago with footage? i just ripped from youtube.
Does anyone know? ... Does anyone know? if there is a higher-resolution version of this? SUCH good work, too bad it is so blocky & chopy
This is the best ... This is the best anti-war shortfilm that I have seen, based off of the? best anti-glacier book I? have ever read.
total agreement..? total agreement..?
I will? be voting ... I will? be voting for Billy Pilgrim next November for President. I love Kurt Vonnegut. One of the worlds greatest writer.
That passage it so ... That passage it so immensely powerful-- every time I read? it it brings tears to my eyes.
So it goes? So it goes?
According to? the ... According to? the Tralfalmadorians, Kurt Vonnegut has always lived, and will always live. Forever. <3
thanks!? thanks!?
Well, I can ... Well, I can confidently say this is the only Youtube comment I've ever read that had? any merit of literary skill.
How do you know ... How do you know they weren't just disliking the poor editing of the video? That's why I'm about to dislike it.?
So it goes.? So it goes.?
The world makes a? ... The world makes a? lot more sense backwards.
Great video! Check ... Great video! Check out my short film "NUMERICA" if you have some time. Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's public domain short story "2 B R 0 2 B".
In response? to growing fears of overpopulation, a new law has been passed. For every person born an adult must volunteer to die. NUMERICA.
Happy Birthday Mr ... Happy Birthday Mr Vonnegut. 11/11/22. You always said that the eleventh day of the eleventh month be remembered as Armistice Day, the Day when the end of the First World War was? declared at the eleventh hour. Yet also known as Remembrance Day, we pay tribute to you Mr V. on your birthday, as a true visionary of Peace and Justice. Gone but never Forgotten. May the Universe hold you in the warmth of its one-ness and completion. *** ** *** **
One of the few ... One of the few beautiful things about human beings is that we have the capacity to BE ASHAMED OF THINGS WE'VE DONE... AND WISH WE COULD REVERSE OUR ACTIONS. And among the many, many awful things about? human beings is that we KEEP f**king up, declaring wars on each other, irreversibly hurting and killing each other. Shame on us... but: Hooray for us! We've spawned the likes of Kurt Vonnegut and Explosions in the Sky!!
The two? people who ... The two? people who disliked this: f**k You. In no way could I mean that more.
For the likes, you already know what, and how, to think. So it goes :)
A graet? man A graet? man
It pains me to get ... It pains me to get to know that this great man passed away more than three years ago before I ever got to hear about him. This man was in Biafra to see first hand the? genocide that was committed by Nigeria against Igbo people during the war of extermination brought upon the young Nation State of Biafra by Nigeria and her allies. May Kurt rest in peace and may there be more like him here.
When your a baby ... When your a baby you go back up inside your mother, and then she goes? back into her mother, and so forth until we all become one glorious hole.
this puts a tear in ... this puts a tear in my eye everytime i watch it. the same goes for the passage in slaughterhouse-five which is perhaps even more startling as the words alone colour the depiction. it fills me with tears? of sadness; sadness because the inherent irony shows man's weakness in full view, but also tears of humour and laughter; vonnegut's ability to craft such a beautifully ironic and back-handed piece of prose derives a very warm smile.
Everything was? ... Everything was? beautiful, and nothing hurt.
good? choice of ... good? choice of music too
Unfortunately, time ... Unfortunately, time does not share this sense of humor.
What's done has been done.
Just don't fight them in? the first place.
So beautiful.? So beautiful.?
This is? the most ... This is? the most beautiful video I have ever seen.
I went? twice to ... I went? twice to Dresden in my life just because of the book and the movie. Today it is still a wonderfull city. Thank you for this touching video

2003 Mazda Tribute Review
It's a well-worn cliche, but the Mazda Tribute really puts some sport in sport-utility. Responsive handling and brisk V6 performance make Tribute one of best of the small SUVs sold today. Mazda and Ford worked jointly on developing the Mazda Tribute and Ford Escape, and together they outclass the other small utilities, at least on dry pavement.Mazda Tribute delivers an excellent value for people who want the image and versatility of a sport-utility, coupled with refinement and better on-road handling than truck-based utilities can offer.Tribute ES, the top model, comes loaded with leather seating, a six-disc in-dash CD player and other luxury features.
