I haven’t seen this since I was in school, but I seem to remember drawing parallels between The Lottery and the military draft. Can anyone else see any comparisons? I thought the film was timely considering the Vietnam war. Am I wrong? I haven’t seen the film or read the story in about 35 yrs.!
We read, in university (Turkey), this popular and sad story of Shirley Jacksons. It’s certainly a masterpiece and great.
Well, the short-story by Shirley Jackson WAS the inspiration for his video.
OMG, we read this and watched the movie in class the other day. And we did a lottery of our own before we read it and no-one knew what it meant, LOL. Dont worry, no-one was killed.
Also hoping the whole movie is put up Even in pieces if need be.
