Description:

Since its release in 1991, Mindwalk has become a cult classic, showing not only in theaters, but in college courses and business seminars. Liv Ullmann, Sam Waterston, and John Heard play the leads who meet on the tidal island of Mont-Saint-Michel in France and enter into a philosophical discussion.

Social and environmental concerns are at the heart of the film, which proposes alternative solutions based on Systems Theory, along with insights into Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics.

The film is based on Fritjof Capra's book The Turning Point (1982).

The Turning Point
Science, Society, and the Rising Culture

by Fritjof Capra.

First published 1982.

Paperback.

ISBN-13: 978-0553345728

Description:

“After a time of decay comes the turning point.” – I Ching.

A compelling vision of a new reality, a reconciliation of science and the human spirit for a future that will work.

The dynamics underlying the major problems of our time – cancer, crime, pollution, nuclear power, inflation, the energy shortage – are all the same. We have reached a time of dramatic and potentially dangerous change, a turning point for the planet as a whole. We need a new vision of reality, one that allows the forces transforming our world to flow together as a positive movement for social change. Now distinguished scientist Fritjof Capra gives us that vision, a holistic paradigm of science and spirit.

“This splendid and thoughtful book is an essential guide for anyone inquiring about the place of science and metascience in our contemporary culture. Those who enjoyed Fritjof Capra’s Tao of Physics should not expect a sequel; this is a much more ambitious book that attempts and succeeds in presenting a whole worldview from the viewpoint of a committed and experienced physicist who also writes from within the North American culture…. It is unusually detailed and thorough in its inclusion of the conventional and the alternative approaches to topics ranging from ecology through medicine and psychology to economics. It is at once scholarly and easy to read.” – Jim Lovelock, New Scientist.

On this day in movie history - Cube (1997)

Cube

directed by Vincenzo Natali,

written by André Bijelic, Graeme Manson and Vincenzo Natali,

was released at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada on September 9, 1997.

Music by Mark Korven.

Cast:

Nicole de Boer, Nicky Guadagni, David Hewlett, Andrew Miller, Julian Richings, Wayne Robson, Maurice Dean Wint.

After watching Cube with my husband the other night, it is very likely the film we've discussed the most after first watching.  At first glance, the film seems very simplistic, but when you consider a broader perspective (as some characters mention) and allegorical implications, the film become far more complex.  If you get the chance, watch Cube....it's worth it!
