From the political standpoint of this film it states that most people either fail to vote all together, or worse, vote in ignorance of the subject upon which they cast such a vote. Looking at one piece of the puzzle in isolation one will most often come to a solution that is harmful to the whole, or to the overlying system. It is a film that quite simply asks intelligent people to stop acting stupidly. It is an obvious answer that the big picture is often lost in the details, it is lost far, far too often in our political system.
From the poetic view this film states that the word we is a fallacy. that "Life feels itself.", "Life is simply not condensable." and "I feel just as reduced being called a clock as I do being called a system". "Life is infinitely more then yours or mine obtuse theories about it." And yet the interrelationships that exist between matter and energy, time and rhythm, meter and style, are not new concepts. It is a simple recognition that when you truly understand a thing the truth of it becomes obvious. It makes you wonder why you did not see it before.
From the scientific viewpoint this film is hardest on the scientist who is supposed to be intelligent enough to see both the piece he is working on and the world as a whole. In the past century, at the basest levels of our teachings to our young, we have divorced from this elegant and essential vision. Guilt is but part of the price we pay for the loss of innocence, and ignorance. In other words develop and utilize wisdom, lest our knowledge show us for the fools we are.
This film is definitely not for everyone. In fact I suspect it to appeal to only a small portion of our population. But for those who get it, it is sure to become a lifelong favorite.
