Flags in Sarah Bareilles video Brave - 2014

 Sarah Bareilles keeps it real in her video Brave.  Singing from her heart, Bareilles lets out positive vibes wherever they may be found - in a park, a mall, gym or at the library.

Here a flag can be seen in the upper background above the yellow building.  It is impossible to make out exactly what it represents but it can be seen gently waving in the wind.





Here a man is dancing almost with spontaneity. On the ceiling are several banners of yellow that are impossible to make out.  But yet again a mundane place has become the center point of happy feet.






Here a woman lets it loose at what looks like a South American outdoor shopping center.  Streamer triangle banner flags can be seen in the background, again it is impossible to make out the specific details of the flags.

Bottom line is when a happy spark of love or dance taps your shoulder, you should engage it!  People are so apt to engage the complaining spirit, next time feel free to be brave by pushing up an on the dance vibe whenever or wherever you feel it be it at a mall, park, or wherever.

Here the "FIGHT!" flags can be seen next to the national flag of Sweethaven.











Racing Track Pennants from Popeye movie 1980






The movie Popeye is a flag rich film.  The makers put a lot of effort to make unique flags.  During the scene at the race track painted black flags on the background wall can be seen.





You can see several women holding flags with the various numbers of the horses on them.  One flag is pink while another is sky blue.






The woman on the right is holding a red pennant for horse number 8 in her left hand.  Although they are using binoculars the horses are actually very close and mechanically controlled.

Money Symbol flag from the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Club Heart Band Movie 1978


  In the 1978 the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Club Heart Band film was released starring The Bee Gees. It was made in the cosmic wake created by Star Wars mashing up with the spirit of the 1970s with the Beatles.  It was funky a film to say the least.

Several flags appear in the movie but the most original appears during Aerosmith's rendition of Come Together.  The flag is a dollar sign in circle on a background of money green.


The money flag represents greed on a harmful selfish level.  The choice of greed versus love and joy is a theme debated in the film.

There is a fine line between joyful abundance and self serving greed.  Certainly it is possible to become rich without being mean, cruel, wicked, heartless or paying people a sub-human minimum wage.

Flag from the movie Divergent 2014

 In the movie Divergent 2014 several unique flags appear.  Since the movie takes place in the future these are not normal flags, but are made of a type of luminescent fabric that makes them glow.  The film is based upon the Divergent Trilogy. 

These flags appear during the capture the flag tournament.  One team is out to capture the neon lime green flag while the other is out to capture the neon orange flag.

Here the team captain is holding the orange team's flag.  You can see the flag crumpled up in his right hand. In the above picture you can see the green team's flag being waved.  


Here is a close up of the orange team's flag. Certainly in the future, flags will be of this nature will be made.
