Film critic Mark Bubien joins Bob for some film reviews and a deeper discussion about how human beings resonate with the arts.

Movie Reviews:

-Oblivion

-Star Trek: Into Darkness

Philosophical Topics:

-Atheists look down at the notion of God or anything supernatural, and yet, many atheists (with all their claims about being motivated by science and reason alone) tend to love science fiction and fantasy.  Are they seeking to fill some kind of empty vacuum?  Is there a component in human beings which longs for a sense of awe and wonder outside of our own world?

-Why is it that films depicting good and evil are embraced by moral relativists who claim there is no such thing as good and evil?

-Why do so many films depict sacrifices such as the one Christ made?

-Why do so many movie themes search for truth?

 

NOTE: This discussion will continue on next week’s show 5-26-13
