Artistic Parallels of [ALIO]

The artistic parallels of infinite conception are spread through the great works of artists, musicians and writers that span centuries. This list is far from complete.

Artistic parallels are divided into three types: Neutral, Positive and Negative.

Positive:

Negative:

Negative parallels are darker. They are best when you are prepared to experience the darker sides of the human condition. Warning: Some of the films, while they do model the human condition, are extremely graphic.

WARNING: Some of these works are graphic and they are marked with a **. Do not watch the negative parallels at all unless you want to understand the darker sides of human nature.

It is important to experience parallels without distraction such as advertising commercials and outside influences. These distractions break the process of subconscious flow which defeats the purpose.

Broke? I heard a rumor that you can download Bittorrent and then use a search engine such as torrentreactor.com to download movies and music.

Have a great parallel to add? Several of these were submitted by readers like you. Contact me to add it.
