What is video philo? |
|
"Innocence" |
|
Video philo is an event in which a film will be shown
and a theme taken from the story to be discussed. It isn’t a ‘critique’
of the film but rather an analysis of a theme evoked in the film. The
advantage of this method focuses our discussion on the theme in the ‘context’
of the story of the film. A context that is shared by the group. This coming video philo will be on "Innocence" as evoked in the film "Being There". |
|
Innocence is a human quality associated with purity, freedom from thoughts of evil or wrong doing and the absence of shame or guilt. An innocent person, often a child or one who is naïve or lacking in sophistication, is uncorrupted and blameless. Yet there is a perplexing relationship between innocence and knowledge. Though a certain ‘truth’ may be embodied in innocent thought, the proverbial "fall from innocence" was a result of gaining knowledge of the self and the world. We will be viewing a 1979 classic satire, "Being There" in which a very simple and ‘innocent’ gardener (Peter Sellars) becomes a national political guru, recognized for his honesty and wisdom. |
