Description
- Review of previous session.
- How does one apply philosophical analysis of any sort to a work of art such as a movie?
- What is the meaning of the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden? How is this philosophically important?
- There is an overlap between science, technology, and art. Mathematics can be thought of as a theoretical art.
- Fundamental question of Reality Transformed: Formalists vs. Realists
- Three Philosophical Filmmakers - all 3 filmmakers are both formalists and realists in their own ways.
- Are films the modern medium of choice for myth-making and disseminating philosophy?
- Hitchcock emphasizes "reality effect" - emphasis on formalism, but striving to bring out realism. Similar to realism portrayed in "The Green Mile."
- Assigning biblical characters to "The Lady Eve." Which characters are Adam and Eve? Who is the snake?
- The myth of the whore/virgin - can the two be harmonized in "The Lady Eve"? Jean journeys from one to the other throughout the movie.
