Grape represents wine or alcohol, which has raped the public since the beginning of time, and ape represents man. If you're drinking, you won't have a leg to stand on. The man in the picture is a wino, and his prosthetic leg is leaning against the newstand. that's what happens when you drink the wine. See the cop there? He didn't know what to do. I remember I shot that on a saturday from inside the Terminal Bar.
I agree that alcohol in mass-consumption and specifically in the inner-city situation can be destructive to both man and society.. However, please do not write off all "wine" or alcohol as complicit in "raping" our culture.. Many responsibly enjoy it, many make a living off of its production or sale, and many don't touch it or have any negative issues with it.. I loved the "Terminal Bar" short film, but as a snapshot in time to a world that most will never experience.. Not as a commentary on the direction of a world without libations..
