Description: Portrays man's callousness towards war and violence by viewing unemotional and noncommunicative men who press triggers on pinball machines in a Parisian bistro and cause real battleships to sink, airplanes to explode, and cannons to blow out the wall.

Complete Record: Shows man's attitude toward war and violence and his loss of identity as he becomes absorbed in an aimless world. Takes place in a Parisian bistro where no one feels or communicates. Sounds of the bistro are juxtaposed with the sounds of war.
