After taking a deeper look at some of the underlying messages of “Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control,” I feel like Morris was serving more than the audience can digest in a single sitting. The images and the words being spoken as these images are seen are startlingly connected. For example, as the topiary gardener is shown with a seemingly celestial light shining on him, the robotics specialist is speaking about how we will eventually be replaced by other life forms. Since we know how the topiary gardener has talked about not finding anyone to take over his gardens after he retires or passes, as the robotics specialist talks about us being replaced by other life forms, we can relate his message to the knowledge we already have about the topiary gardener. Also, as we see the elephants walking along chained to one another, we hear a troubling instance being discussed. Lastly, as the documentary comes to a close, it’s almost as a show is coming to an end in that we see the elephants making their grand exit and the castle in the Clyde Beatty film crumbling. We are also shown the image of the lion tamer firing his pistol into the night as though to say his career was over. Lastly, we see a volcano erupting and essentially ending the life of everything in its lava’s path; however, at the same time, it is also an opportunity for new life and new beginnings. With the lion tamer ending his career, he opens the door for new tamers to start their career just as Clyde Beatty did for him.
