"Mindwalk" Is Wonderful! Here Are Instructions to See It Free, Streamed Over Internet.
|
This is a very good movie and I enjoyed it, and besides purchase, you can see the entire video Free, Streaming over Internet. (Copy and Paste Link below or Google search for Mindwalk video.google.com )
As the dialog progresses, we are treated to great walking tour views of the famous castle, Mont. St. Michael, You remember it, it's on an island rock pinnacle off the coast of France. Special treat are the views of the giant clock mechanism. You even see (ugh) the inquisition torture chambers and instruments there.
The dialog was very interesting and covered many valid points for what I need to keep in mind and think about. Such as need to attend to wholeness in any natural process and indeed whole earth systems. A good point is this time of Global Warming Crisis and need to take holistically appropriate action.
It's thoughtfulness, in many ways reminds, me of the book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (ZMM), although the topic of wholeness is not directly in the ZMM book, and of course ZMM covers many other topics, not in the Mindwalk movie.
The movie dialog focuses on how our civilization is "out of joint" because of our restrictive mind set. It points to our overly scientific influenced culture and how we use too much analytic thinking. (You know, break any thing into pieces and analyze each piece.) This is of course how science works, to our great benefit. However in our own time this typical thinking mode (of our entire western civilization) often gets us into trouble.
I clicked on the Internet Link, and the movie fired right up both on my Windows computer and my Mac computer (Safari browser), and played the complete movie with no problem.

Some viewers comments found on an Internet blog:
-------------------------------------------
1) The movie is based on, Fritjof Capra's The Turning Point.
2) Plot: A US politician (Sam Waterston) visits his poet friend (John Heard) in Mont. St. Michael, France. While walking through the medeival island discussing their philosophies of life they happen upon Sonja (Liv Ullman), a scientist in recluse, who joins in their conversation. The two men listen to the ideas of this brilliant woman and discuss how her ideas can work in their own politician and poet lives.
3) What these video descriptions aren't telling you is the conversation between these three characters is fascinating and mesmerizing. Spellbinding really. Philosophy, physics and life in general.
4) Have you ever had a conversation with a friend that you wished had gone on for ever? That's kinda what this is like.
5) This video was a mental exercise movie, so it was stimulating. I know few other people who would sit through such philosophical rambling though. ;)
