Response to The Lead Shoes

When I saw this film some of the imagery made me think of the great depression. The man with the bread, and the splattering of sauce. The hopscotch made it have a slight nostalgic feeling of childhood. The old divers suit made me think of a couple of things. One was way out there. It was the episode of Mythbusters that tested if the air being pumped down to the diver is cut off and the safety valve fails is it possible that the divers organs and even bones would be squeezed up in to the helmet. The other thought was this feeling of adventure and danger that being it that suit would bring. Then I thought maybe someone died in that suit. Oh, by the way. They found that a diver could be killed and his organs and bones pushed into the helmet (not all of them but a lot).
