This film is inspired by true events. So these things actually do happen. It basically depicts [historically] the manner in which one’s identity revolves around dasein. Who you come to think you are is profoundly rooted in the manner in which your life unfolds existentially. The lives of the sisters...

As dystopias go this isn’t far beyond imagining one day. Besides, after the Holocaust, what could be? Children can be indoctrinated to believe practically anything is reality. And when some of the pieces don’t fit they simply rationalize it. In Hailsham all the girls are pretty and all the boys are ...

Blog or not, my main interest in exchanging philosophy still revolves around the points I made on the other thread. The distinction between philosophy as an exchange of viewpoints in the is/ought world and the extent to which, as with science, philosophy can encompass objective reality. With philos...

Ludwig Wittgenstein How small a thought it takes to fill a life. And post after post after post after post here. When we can't think for ourselves, we can always quote. Him, for example. We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been tou...

Out of the blue the father shows up after a 12 year absence. But it doesn’t take nearly that long to sense something very, very ominous is about to unfold. Still, some sons are more desperate for a father than others. The way he walks around with the hatchet. And Ivan with the knife. And the differe...

Slavoj Žižek The catch is that, even if life does eventually return to some semblance of normality, it will not be the same normal as the one we experienced before the outbreak. Things we were used to as part of our daily life will no longer be taken for granted, we will have to learn to live a muc...

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Dex: Ten grand, done. It’s 10 grand. I consider us even. Hank: No… Dex: My sister wants me to kill you. Or I could call the cops. But I don’t like cops. And the cops ain’t going to pay my sister’s bills. Yo, Andy! Hank [on phone]: Hello? Andy: It’s me. Hank: Andy,...

Nihilism states basically that “Life is suffering and there’s nothing we can do about it”. Buddhism, which -to me-, is the flip side of the same coin of Nihilism…beca...

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Andy [handing him a wad of cash]: That’s $2,000. It’s an advance. See what just that much does for you. And, imagine the rest. Now that works! Hank [after Bobby switches from folk music on the radio to heavy metal]: What the fuck is this? Bobby: You can listen to ...

Things just don’t add up in their life so the first thing some folks think of to straighten things out is money. That’ll do it. And it does just enough times to keep them going in the same direction. But then they want [or need] more – a lot more – of it. And sometimes in order to get it the wrong p...
