Although there is a sort of loose narrative thread, I’ve always felt this film is really just a series of 5 minute philosophy introductory lectures. That being said, I love it for what it is. He’s not claiming these are all his ideas, he’s just doing a terrific job of introducing them in a way that is both interesting and accessible. I would say its more a meditation then a film, but I don’t think meditation is the right word. Almost a series of meditations ( which would still be a meditation is suppose) then one over-arcing thought.
