doomsday philosopher

Synopsis: In their last philosophy class before graduation, students are forced to participate in thought experiments. The identity and skills were determined by drawing lots, and three experiments were carried out. The gimmick of this movie is based on philosophy, and it also shows the direct emotional line between the teacher and the heroine and heroine. In the film, the first and second experimental poets were shot to death by the teacher when they stood up to introduce themselves. They felt that the poet was of little use to them and lost a life. The third experiment made the deepest impression on me. The heroine she chose made the poets and singers. Those who made the first two times boring let them in, but those who went in lived happily and unrestrainedly. There was music in it. There are fine wines and poets that can nurture our cultural atmosphere, which is worth moving. The three scenes where the teacher goes upstairs three times at the end of the movie represent the teacher's inner emotions and different endings. I also found the first three small experiments to be very interesting.

The whole film gives me the feeling that, in the face of choices, whether it should be rational or emotional, different people have different choices.

    I feel that both the teacher and the heroine are a bit perverted...

  • Utami: [singing] Lenten ys come with love to toune / with blosmen ant with briddes roune / that al this blisse bryngeth;/ Dayes-eyes in this dales / notes suete of nyhtegales / uch foul song singeth./ The threstelcoc him threteth oo / away is huere wynter wo / when woderove springeth;/ This foules singeth ferly fele / ant wlyteth on huere wynne wele / that al the wode ryngeth.

  • [Mr. Zimit just announced to the class that they'll conduct a final big thought experiment, about survival during a global cataclysm]

    Chips: But what kind of cataclysm are we talking about? Gamma ray burst? Pandemic? Erupting super volcano? A sudden shift in the Earth's axis rotation? Grey goo?

    Mr. Zimit: Hang on, Chips, we'll get there.

    Chips: But is it biological? Geological? Thermo-nuclear? Meteorological?

    Mr. Zimit: Let's go old school. Say... atomic.
