Fast

Its A Fact: No Mans Story Begins Or Ends With His Birth And Eventual Death. Thats Just The Span Of A Lifetime. A Mans Story Begins With The Commingled Influences Of The Past And Ends With The Effects Of His Existence On The Future. While Sitting In His Prison Cell Contemplating Life A Man Considers The Events That Led Him Astray. Those Events Span A Forty-Year Period Starting With Early Childhood Into The Present Day. In A Way This Mans Story Is A Dark Coming Of Age Narrative That May Or May Not Have A Happy Ending. Fast Is A Modern Interpretation Of Faust Except That Instead Of The Hoofed Personification Of Evil It Is Modern Society Itself That Beguiles The Protagonist. People React To Their Particular Realities In A Manner Characterized By Sartre As Being-In-Itself Because They Dont Have Time To Reflect On Their Decisions Instead Of By Being-For-Itself Which Requires A Conscious Evaluation Before Making Those Determinations. In Other Words It Can Be A Moments Hesitation That Leads To The Decimation Of Our Souls. Which Path Would You Choose: Damnation Or Salvation? What If You Unknowingly Already Made Your Choice Years Ago?
