This is a movie that we watched in Religion in the Movies. It is a very interesting movie and actually not that bad for being from the 70's. In it the smart people basically find the key to immortality and separate themselves from other humans in order to figure out the ultimate knowledge of the universe. This back fires and they end up living a boring stupid life.
This movie showed the vanity of over analyzing life. It reminded me of some stuff that we have read in this class about how pain can not be known once it is not experienced. I believe that science is a great pursuit and that it has provided a lot to humanity but there is also a need to step back and look at life outside of science.
If all you do is analyze life sucks. There comes a point where you need to live in the moment and think less about what you are doing. I don't mean just live recklessly but not completely analytically. There is a lot of freedom in that.
