- dragonwriter 13y ago> Movies a pretty horrible places to get philosophy across: Dry diatribes and overmuch dialog at times. Movies are a horrible medium for describing philosophy. Their a great medium for demonstrating the ideas of a philosophy. People who don't know how to make movies make movies with dry diatribes and overmuch dialog, whether the focus is philosophy or, well, anything else. But that's not a problem with the intersection of philosophy and film, that's a problem with the intersection of film and people who don't know how to make films.
- vtempest 13y agowhat's wrong with The man from earth? It's by the same authors as star trek. Seems like it was engaging intellectually to describe that unique idea of immortality
