I just finished reading the Futurist Manifesto, and it was an interesting perspective from a futurist's mind on rejecting the past and celebrating speed, violence, machinery, youth and the industry. The manifesto is also an advocation for modernizing Italy. The first part elaborated on the futurists' love for machinery when they went up to hug the decker trams, and celebrating their youth by jumping and playing in the mud. The second part then specified the futurists' views or beliefs on their love of violence, war, machinery, speed, youth, and their hate for static things such libraries, museums, fighting against morality, and feminism. The second part of the manifesto also speaks about modernizing Italy, where the author described Italy as a "second hand market".
Although I don't agree with futurism's views against morality and feminism, I do, however,agree that countries such as Italy during the early 1900s must accept change and adapt to the growing industry.
