New movie: _I_Am_

This is a limited release film, and it's crawling around the art-film screens, so I figure it can use some word of mouth.

I was sort of expecting more pretentious glurge a la _What the bleep?_ and was quite pleased that he kept it personal and limited the woo-woo pseudo science to a bare minimum.

And the parts where he talks about group behavior in bird flocks, red deer and schools of fish, made perfect sense without having to resort to any sort of mystical or unusual explanations.

Mostly the film is about the experience of being inspired. In this case, he's inspired to ask two core questions: What's wrong with the world? and what can be done about it?

Wisely, i think, he avoids answering those questions direct, but rather goes into what makes those questions hard to ask, and how it might become easier to ask them.

It sure worked for me. I've started a list of things I am suddenly burning to talk about. But it's not "steam engine time" yet. When it is, people will want to talk about it.
