"Film making today is...

...questioning our understanding of our relationship to the universe." Yeah, that's pretty heavy handed. I thought about using world, or reality, or consciousness but none of them sounded any better. And how many times do you really get to use the word universe? All of my readings this semester were trying to build tangible pieces of understanding out of the vagueness of life. They cited philosophers throughout our history and applied their thoughts to films looking for the same answers, or to films that brought new questions to the old answers and ideas. I think film making, and really all art, gives us the chance to explore what we think we know. You know what, that sounds a lot better, but I'm sticking with universe.
