The Amusement Park - 1975 - 6/10
The man enters the white waiting room and encounters a doppelganger of sorts.
Who warns him that the outside world, the Amusement Park, is not worth it.
Nevertheless, old as he is, the man wants to see it, to experience Life.
Out in the world, the elderly are cheated, robbed, disrespected, marginalized, institutionalized.
In many ways, the journey is the daily nightmare of old folks.
Save your pennies, children, for tomorrow glides ever closer.
What George Romero calls the Amusement Park, I have always termed the Great Parade.
