    Purpose of Rear Window???

    Oh, I loathed that film. But in terms of intended purpose, it is very much a product of the realist sub-genre; a series of plot events based upon everyday life and a strong sense of plausibility. If you recall, there is a perceptive conversation in the film between LB and Stella where the...

    Does God exist?

    All plausible arguments MoonlightSonata but I think its important to acknowledge that God does not necessarily have to be an actual celestial being or presence, but rather can represent an initiative which stems from either the individual's personal need for validation (i.e. justifying human...

    Death

    Personally, I'm fairly indifferent to death. I don't welcome it because there are still things I want to do but if it happened anytime soon, I'd probably just react with a wry smile and be like "damn..."

    Capitalism is not compatable with real Democracy.

    Then again, there is an inherent ambiguity to the term democracy; it means different things to different people because each one of us lives bound by our own interpretations of reality. Personally though, I reckon many things within society are interrelated and sustain other components. I mean...
