something about "green man"

[GreenManMakeAChange]

Maybe green man was peter pan haha

or green giant

[farhatmjj]

I kind of always thought the green man thing in, "We Are the World" was just photo-shopped.......really?

i don't believe it was photoshopped at all, it was in the original video, so... no.  8-)

it is interesting, this video.  I think it does make the point perfectly....why cover the face/head before? The only thing I can figure, is the guys in this video, needed to have the head/face shown, it was only the body they were going to green-out/in.  In the MJ video, it was said the whole person can be placed.......I think?

yes i believe it makes the point perfectly. they don't need to hide/cover their whole heads like the green man in the WATW video to be replaced with some other person. and in this video of Kaka's commercial making, it was not only the bodies that needed to be greened out, these green men were replaced head to toe by Roger Federar and Tiger Woods, two different people.

I think you have a great point here. That doesn't make sense. They don't have to cover the faces like that.....And the whole "green men" thing in WATW doesn't make sense, because it's a whole lotta work to include your picture in that thing....

A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves. Branches or vines  may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament, Green Men are frequently found on carvings in churches and other buildings (both secular and ecclesiastical). "The Green Man" is also a popular name for English public houses and various interpretations of the name appear on inn signs, which sometimes show a full figure rather than just the head.

The Green Man motif has many variations. Found in many cultures around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or "renaissance," representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some speculate that the mythology of the


Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.

Parallels have been drawn between the Green Man and various deities. Many see him as being connected to the Mesopotamian Tammuz who is thought to symbolize the triumph of Life over Winter and Death, Osiris, Odin, and even Jesus, as well as later folkloric and literary characters such as the Holly King.

Mythical figures such as Cernunnos, Sylvanus, Derg Corra, Green George, Jack in the green, John Barleycorn, Robin Goodfellow, Puck, and the Green Knight all partake of the Green Man's nature; it has also been suggested that the story of Robin Hood (Dave Dave has pics of himself as Robin Hood on myspace) was born of the same mythology. A more modern embodiment is found in Peter Pan, who enters the civilized world from Neverland,[/size] clothed in green leaves.

So Peter Pan emerges from Neverland. Is this another clue to where Michael is?

That's interesting information to know about green man, I'm very proud of my name

[melody]

stop at 1:10, you'll see the green men. but they do not have their faces covered but in the commercial they were replaced by two other sports persons (watch from 5:00) . my point is, it proves "green men" do not have to cover their faces to be replaced later as the "green man" in the "we are the world" video had his face covered. so why was he covered like THAT?

Not necessarily.

At some point during rehearsal, the actors may have rehearsed with their hoods off. Perhaps whoever compiled the "behind-the-scenes" clips decided not to include footage of the actors with their hoods on.
