[Leica] More War

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

Sonny,
That is enactment, not reenactment. People are enacting out of belief what
they presume will get them to heaven, it is a ritual - they do not dress up
as gods. Religion is anyway a whole different ballgame.

That is why I said it is akin to a costume drama, or a play. They can carry
very serious messages...whether it is the horror of war, or a longing for
days gone and a way of life that has all but disappeared, or of nostalgia
for one's roots. All valid.

Cheers
Jayanand
