Week 1: Post 3 - Films

The short movies Java Philosophy and De Docta Ignorantia both had very different ideas. First off, Java Philosophy, the author throws a question, “Who are you?”. What he/she really trying to do is get us thinking that do we really know ourselves. Moreover, another interesting point is that “I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations,-one can either do this or that. My honest opinon and a friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it—you’ll regret both”, I loved this quote. I think what he says is that we feel that we didn’t make the right decision since we always think back to a situation.

The other short movie, De Docta Ignorantia is by Nicholas of Cusa. The author showed a very interesting point, that is how things relate to each other, such as art pieces or music, and even math in this situation. The short movie dealt with ignorance and intelligence. Furthermore, one of the major points was that we must recognize our ignorance and stupidity. In other words, we must accept the fact we don’t really know whats going on in this world. Personally, my favorite one of both was Java Philosophy, I’m not sure, but I kinda liked that one much better than De Docta Ignorantia.
