The Terror and the Time availble on line at gsmp.blip.tv The Terror and the Time Poetry as weapon by John Hess from Jump Cut, no. 26, December 1981, pp. 35-36 copyright Jump Cut A Review of Contemporary Media, 1981, 2005 POETRY AS WEAPON — John Hess "They came treading in the hoofmarks of the mule passing the ancient bridge the grave of pride the sudden flight the terror and the time." — Martin Carter THE TERROR AND THE TIME is a breathtaking film, one that is so complex in its imagery — so poetic in fact — that I find it difficult to conjure up in words. Images appear first as simple denotation: a torch to light the way, a clock tower, urban slums, sugarcane fields. But then they accrue connotations with each reappearance until the torch is revolution, the clock tower is time, the slum is hades, and the cane fields signify the strength of the Guyanese people. Like Martin Carter's poetry, which runs through the film as a sort of narration, the film is composed of loosely connected images (not randomly) which are both public and private, real and unreal, specific and general. And the power of the whole to evoke the suffering and the struggle of the people derives from the contradictions and the tensions in these images.
