Magdy's "Two Days to Apocalypse" depicts a fabricated world that has turned awry. In this nonsensical space, categories of good, evil, right and wrong appear simplistic, and the value judgment imbedded in the rhetoric of mass media is exposed. By using the language of animation conventionally associated with child entertainment, portrayals of violence are both masked and neutralized, echoing the de-sensitizing effect of media repetition.
