VHS Movie Reviews of Mindwalk [VHS]
Movie Review: Paradoxical little talk movie ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I first saw "Dinner With Andre" I have a soft spot for movies like this ... meaning anything that tries to be different from the average action or warmed over reruns that we get year after year when new movies come out. I seek out movies like this and enjoy them mostly. "MIndwalk" is about a conversation between a poet, a scientist and a poltician as they walk around in the island of Mont St. Michel, the castle, in the walls.
The scenery is captivating and interesting, the characters are representing ideas that the writer or the movie is using to try to impart his view of life and the universe, a kind of mix of science and poetry, and the politician is there to mediate how to get that message out to people, most of whom are only interested in day to day realities.
There was things I liked and disliked about the conversation, and agreed and disagreed with in the ideas. It does seem the Western civilization is at a crossroads as the world gets smaller, and the Newtonian, Cartesian world versus the Einsteinian world is an allegory for that, but the conversations about physics supporting some of what are religious ideas are idiosyncratic to the writer. They are nice ideas to listen to and I have nothing against them, and I am glad someone took the time to try to present these ideas in a movie like this, but this is just a conversation among people.
There is little change in the characters, action of the sort we see and expect in most movies. I found it refreshing and enjoyable. To me the main idea is that we have to start being able to look at ourselves clearly to survive in a world that is changing in ways even the brightest among us do not understand and cannot predict. The nationalistic idea or identifying with any group and rejecting other groups and using violence to solve our problems cannot continue.
One of my favorite movies, even with its flaws. Make up your own mind, but this ought to at least provoke a little thought.
Summary of Mindwalk [VHS]
This strange experiment in filmed conversation finds three people--a physicist, a poet, a politician--yammering about the environment, science, art, government, and much else, all in an effort either to find or to dispute connections between disparate subjects. There is no story, as such--just lots of chatter (much of it not particularly profound) shot against a variety of picturesque backgrounds. If director Bernt Capra thought this would turn out to be another My Dinner with André, that fantasy falls on its face. --Tom KeoghDrama VHS Video
