Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control
Thats the name of the movie by Errol Morris which I just watched. It was an amazing and beautiful tapestry of music and images which delved into what it is to be human on a very personal level. The movie itself is merely a set of 4 interviews, clips of those 4 people at work, and clips from old movies all spliced together to music. Featured are a wild animal trainer, a topiary gardener, an MIT robot designer, and an expert on the naked mole rat. At first, it just seemed confusing and I didn't understand the connection, but as the film went on it became obvious that he was comparing the robots and animals to ourselves, all while showing us strange individuals through a looking glass. I highly recommend you rent this movie if you get the chance. Also, another movie called The Spanish Prisoner looks very interesting.Posted by wonko at December 31, 2002 12:58 AM
