The emotion and passion expressed in this manifesto is inspiring. While I don't agree with many of the ideas, the energy expressed is astounding. Marinetti paints these vivid images of revolution and destruction that captures the raw youthful emotions of the early twentieth century. The ideas themselves are rash and detrimental but the passion behind the ideas are exhilarating. It is easy to draw parallels between now and the futurist movement, with new technologies and revolutions, but it is hard to match the same raw passion as illustrated by this manifesto. It would be exciting to use the themes and excitement embodied in it in an artwork.
