Let the show begin

Sadness of the earth is a superbly constructed story. The classic building is raised a little school with a narrative and poetic style making the demonstration an interesting and touching story.
Eric Vuillard initially evokes the art of the show and then we do understand the risks of a so successful and then broaden the debate philosophizing about the beauty of the fleeting.
If I knew Buffalo Bill as a buffalo hunter hired by the railway company to clean and enjoy Indian, I did not know that he was the creator of shows and with his partner John Burke inventor of show business.
From 1883 to late 1916, the Wild West Show roamed the United States and Europe revealing daily to thousands of spectators history of clashes between US and Indian including the battles of Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee. On the principle of reality show, real Indians (and Sitting Bull himself before his death at Wounded Knee) played their own role.
But these shows managed to attract the crowds are sometimes a source of misinformation. Buffalo Bill, for example, invented the cry of the Sioux before the battle, known worldwide today. His shows invited the American people to hate this wild daborder omitting sad traps and massacres of American history. Fortunately, Eric Vuillard to counter this false educational power of the show, tells us the real battle of Wounded Knee in a snowstorm.
The public is demanding. He wants the grandiose. The hype of the Wild West Show eventually tire, seeking other novelties like the Lunar Park created by Elmer Dundy well inspired by the success of Buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill invented mass entertainment by putting "in limplacable road commercial culture. "But who today see in the pictures the sad smile of these disguised Indians?

Meanwhile, Wilson Alwyn Bentley watched and photographed the ephemeral things like this little snowflake witnessed the massacre of Wounded Knee. This artist tried "just the feeling of the time who dies, who faint shapes. "
Repeating a shopping arranged to show the glory of American or uniqueness of a snowflake that disappears as a destroyed civilization.
Laughter of spectators eager for news against the sad smile of a people now landless and without memories.
