"Though separated from what they produce, people nevertheless produce every detail of their world with ever-increasing power. They thus also find themselves increasingly separated from that world. The closer their life comes to being their own creation, the more they are excluded from that life." - DeBord
This cult class movie poster really sums up the above statement regarding spectacles. As a movie that symbolizes and explores how society pretends to be so perfect while at the same time society feels the need to criticize and crush those they find inferior. This shows the slip of society from its so-called perfection into the very dark depths of a monster. The main character strives for everything in life that he should and is very successful. He also finds himself alone and transforming into someone who he had always viewed with extreme disgust. He finds himself unable to connect with any human being but only able to feed the evil desires in his mind.
