"War Photographer" and Gorillaz

I was not a fan of Joel Trussell's film "War Photographer". I thought that artwork appeared to be the style of some goofy cartoon that you would find on Cartoon Network (which I am also not a big fan of). I did not think that this film would be appropriate for children, because they showed the use of alcohol and tobacco products. That should not be in children's films/music videos, as that would be considered promoting these products to people that were under the age. I know that this film was not made to be fancy and professional, but even taking that into consideration I just didn't like the style of it, or the alcohol and tobacco products that were used in the film.

On a better note though, I was completely blown away with the Gorillaz video. Yes, it was a little dark, but it was so unique compared to what I am used to seeing. I think that it is really awesome that they use animated characters at their performances and leave their identities unknown. But along with the other students in class, I am left wondering as to whether they actually perform live at their concerts or if they play the music on a CD or something. I am just absolutely amazed with the idea that they created this animated band, and that people will go and see them in concert, that is just so cool to me!!
