The illusion of success lures a man to the very threshold of glory only to unsheathe its true, frightening nature as he gets within reach.Using the classic icon of victory —a Triumphal Arch —as a visual metaphor, the film ponders the notion of success and glory. Where does this prideful meme come from? Is it conceptually analogous to the biological selfish gene, which is programmed to self-replicate at any price, including the cost of long-range self destruction? How and why does it disable common sense so effectively, mutating after each war? Insurgency of Ambition opens with a sequence of Athena violently erupting from Zeus's head. Being the product of his conniving and selfish brain, Athena's association with both wisdom and war is oxymoronic for what kind of wisdom is armed with weapons? She is Zeus's mind disease, a chimera of conquest, all too eagerly revered and induced by the mortals.
